The day Christine Hansen bought her home 17 years ago in Millcreek was “the happiest day of my life,” she told the Salt Lake County Council on Tuesday.
But since then, Hansen said her property taxes have risen dramatically, to the point that she feels “it’s going to force me to sell. And that was never a goal of mine when I bought my house.”
Hansen was one of more than 30 people who spoke during a public hearing Tuesday against a proposed property tax rate increase for 2020 that is expected to have an impact of about $30.
