Either your story is in error or I have to move to Alta. $440 yearly taxes on a $850,000 home? That has to be the lowest in the state! Check your numbers. I am extrapolating from a 10% increase that amounts to $44 so $440 would be the taxes on a yearly basis.
67 households in the city of Alta and $261000 of taxes collected means the average household is paying about $4000 of property taxes per year. When you know what is going on....it is surprising how many mistakes there are in the papers. I think the article should read an increase of $44 per month.
I can see how anyone living in Alta couldn't afford $44. That nearly a dinner for two.
