Responsibilities and powers
- Salt Lake County has a mayor-council form of government. The Council "is the legislative body responsible for enacting County ordinances and regulations, adopting the annual budget, and authorizing many intergovernmental agreements" (SLCo Council).
- State law gives the county legislative body "all legislative powers" of the county (Utah Code 17-64-401).
- Board of Equalization: "The county legislative body is the county board of equalization." It must hold public hearings each year to examine the tax roll and equalize property values, may appoint trained hearing officers, and makes the final decision on appeals (Utah Code 59-2-1001; 17-64-407).
- Approves appointments to boards, commissions and departments (SLCo Council).

- Board of Equalization: 17 BOE meetings are scheduled in 2026 in Council Chambers (N1-110), usually on a Tuesday afternoon (for example Jan 13, Mar 10, Sept 15, Oct 6, Oct 13, Oct 20, Nov 3, Nov 17, Dec 8) (same calendar).
- Other bodies: the 2026 calendar also lists the Municipal Building Authority, the Tourism, Recreation, Cultural and Convention (TRCC) board, the Debt Review Committee and the Executive Coordinating Committee (same).
- Seasonal cycle: the mayor proposes a budget in the fall, the council revises it in November and adopts it in December (the 2026 budget was council-recommended Nov 25, 2025 and adopted Dec 9, 2025) (SLCo budget documents). Property-value appeals reach the board from late summer through winter.
