What happened (or didn\u2019t happen) with property tax reform?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s legislative session did have many significant accomplishments, including the removal of problematic \u201cgender identity\u201d language from Iowa\u2019s civil rights code<\/a>. However, one priority<\/a> for voters that was not addressed was property tax relief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As property owners in Warren County and around the state continue to suffer under staggering tax burdens<\/a>, many looked to the General Assembly to provide protection against local governments that continue to raise property taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The legislature did put forth several proposals that would have limited the amount local governments could raise property taxes. They would have capped but not eliminated the ability of local governments to increase these taxes. Moreover, these proposals failed to address the high property taxes already in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join the fight to preserve our community by becoming a monthly donor today.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But none of these proposals were enacted before the legislature adjourned this morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s next with property tax reform?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gov. Kim Reynolds, who will not be running for re-election, issued a statement saying she wants to prioritize property tax relief next session. She said<\/a>,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

I look forward to continuing this work next session\u2014especially when it comes to reducing Iowans\u2019 property tax burden. And to make sure tax cuts remain sustainable, even as we continue to make smart investments, we\u2019ll keep streamlining government. Our alignment efforts, so far, have already saved taxpayers more than $250 million, and we\u2019re just getting started.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next year is an election year, allowing voters to put more pressure on their lawmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many hope that the next session of the General Assembly will result in meaningful, significant property tax relief for Iowans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
