Property values to be increased through reimbursement program

(South Salt Lake) Residents are being encouraged to increase their property values and beautify the city by planting trees.

“The city will reimburse homeowners the lesser of $50 or 50 percent of the cost of the trees [for] up to two trees,” said South Salt Lake City Finance Department Supervisor Lisa Park. “The trees just have to be selected from the approved list that we have on our website or they can come and get a list of those from the finance department in City Hall.”

To participate in the program residents must fill out an application and get pre-approval for the trees they would like to purchase and plant. Applications can also be found on the website or picked up from city offices. After receiving approval from the city residents who plant trees can bring receipts back to South Salt Lake City Hall and receive reimbursement.
