Brigham City annexes 87 acres, adopts waste and recycling changes

The Brigham City Council adopted ordinances to annex 87.74 acres near 1200 West, rezone the annexed land, and amend recycling service fees, along with a resolution approving an amended waste services agreement with Econowaste, LLC. The council also held public hearings on a proposed 4.81% property tax increase, but the outcome of that vote has not yet been published.

Annexation and zoning

At its August 20 meeting, the council adopted Ordinance 26-18, annexing 87.74 acres from Box Elder County at approximately 1200 West between Highway 13 and 1500 North. The council also adopted Ordinance 26-19, which amends the zoning map for the annexed land. A public hearing on the annexation was held earlier that evening, and the city reported that no timely protests were received. The complete plat is available at the Office of the Brigham City Recorder, 20 North Main Street.

Waste services and recycling fees

The council adopted Ordinance 26-17, which amends Title 5 of the city code to change recycling service fees. It also adopted Resolution 26-11, approving an amended waste services agreement with Econowaste, LLC. Specific fee amounts were not listed in the published notice.

Property tax increase proposal

The council held two public hearings on a proposed property tax increase for the 2026-27 fiscal year. The proposal would generate $184,843 in additional revenue, a 4.81% increase over last year's budgeted revenue excluding new growth. For a $400,000 residence, the annual increase would be $18.48; for a $400,000 business, $33.60. The August 20 agenda also listed a $100.80 annual increase for a $1,200,000 commercial property. The additional revenue is proposed to fund $129,843 for a full-time city attorney position and $55,000 for temporary Parks department staff. The council held a final budget public hearing on August 20, but minutes have not yet been published, so the adoption outcome is not confirmed.
