Incorporated city
Provo is an incorporated Utah city in Utah County.
The city usually handles municipal land use, permits, ordinances, and local services. Property assessment, deeds, elections, courts, health services, utilities, and special districts remain with their actual county, state, court, or service authority.
A mailing name can extend beyond municipal limits. Use the street address or parcel record when the boundary changes the office.

Usually owned by Utah County assessor and tax offices
The county assesses locally taxed property and handles the local record and appeal path. Utah's primary-residence framework is statewide, but the applied exemption, parcel value, tax area, and bill must be checked against the parcel record.
Usually owned by Provo for municipal work; Utah County for county work
Municipal land use and local permits usually start with the city or town. County, district, utility, fire, tribal, or federal requirements can still apply to the same address, and state business registration does not replace local licensing.
Usually owned by Utah State Engineer, local health department, and the local land-use authority
A water-right record, well record, irrigation interest, onsite-wastewater permit, and land-use approval answer different questions. Match each record to the property; do not treat a well or mailing address as proof of a water right or septic approval.
Usually owned by County offices, Utah vital records, or the court shown by the case
County recorder and clerk functions stay with the county. Birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificate paths depend on the record and requester. Court type and filing location depend on the case, so use the court directory rather than inferring a courthouse from the place name.
Usually owned by Utah DMV and Utah County emissions program
Utah County is among the five counties named by Utah DMV as having a local emissions program. Open the current county procedure for frequency, exemptions, stations, and vehicle details.
Usually owned by Utah hazard programs plus the local building, fire, emergency, or land authority
State maps and preparedness programs are starting points, not parcel clearances or live emergency reports. Use the exact address and project for local building or geotechnical follow-up, and use the responsible local authority for current restrictions, evacuation, roads, or utilities.
