“Property taxes remain a significant concern for Iowa taxpayers and are a hindrance to economic growth. Taxpayers are demanding meaningful property tax relief, and that will only occur when legislators address the cause. Limiting local government spending is the most effective solution for property tax relief.
Over the past 20 years, property taxes in Iowa have increased by close to 110%, surpassing the growth of inflation and population. From fiscal year 2025 to the start of fiscal year 2026, total property tax collections from school districts, cities (with populations over 1,000) and counties will grow by $239.8 million, or an increase of 3.9%. Within the past two years, property tax collections have increased by over 10%. Local governments will collect a combined $6.4 billion in property taxes in fiscal year 2026.”
