Cardston County is committed to ensuring that property owners have a clear and fair process to address concerns about their property assessments. The Municipal Government Act (MGA) provides a formal complaints and appeals process that allows property owners to challenge their assessment if they believe it is inaccurate.

Who Can File an Assessment Complaint?

The following parties are eligible to file a complaint:
✅ The assessed property owner or taxpayer
✅ A representative acting on behalf of the assessed person (with written authorization)
✅ An agent for fee acting on behalf of the property owner (must also provide written authorization)

🔔 If the property changes ownership during the complaint process, the new owner automatically becomes the complainant.
