The assets of Wasatch County Fire District exceeded the liabilities as of the close of the most recent
year by $5,204,218 (net assets). Of this amount $2,708,577 (unrestricted net assets) may be used to meet

acquisitions and improvements.

At the close of the fiscal year, the unassigned fund balance of the General Fund totaled $509,556 or 49% of the total General Fund revenues. State statutes allow a maximum unreserved fund balance of 100% of the current year’s property tax of $925,814.
