Tax Assessment book from Salt Lake City. The “duplicate” is an entirely handwritten copy of the year’s assessment.
Additional books for Salt Lake City tax assessment from 1879 to 1892, after which this function moved to county offices, are now online. These volumes record the assessment of real and personal property Salt Lake City, Utah Territory. They were used for taxing purposes. Individual city assessors assessed and collected property taxes within municipal boundaries, often recording the details such as the number of horses owned.
Previously, books from 1856 to 1878 were digitized by FamilySearch.
