Iowa’s property tax laws can be a head-scratcher

The Waterloo-Cedar Falls-Waverly area has a lot to off er in the way of recreation and educa-tion, but there’s still no way to avoid taxes.

Iowa’s property tax laws are among the most complex in the nation and could leave homeown-ers scratching their heads each fall when tax bills arrive from the Black Hawk County Treasurer’s Offi ce.

Seven diff erent local govern-ments eventually get a share of those property tax payments, which are payable in two install-ments — one in September and the other in March. The payments fi nance governments that operate on a fi scal year starting July 1.

The property tax system starts with the assessed value of a prop-erty as determined by the county assessor’s offi ce. That value can change annually either by an

assessor’s review or by equaliza-tion orders, which are mandated changes in value ordered by the Iowa Department of Revenue and Finance. Property owners can appeal values they deem unfair at the Assessor’s Offi ce in the Black Hawk County Courthouse.

Anyone who owns a home they live in also is eligible to have a small portion of their value removed for taxing purposes by applying for a “homestead tax credit” at the Assessor’s Offi ce. Several other tax credits, such as one for military service, also are available.

But some property owners don’t pay taxes based on the full assessed value. The state sets diff erent “rollback” orders each year for the various classes of property.

isit Kimball Ridge g ToVisitVisit Kimball AvenueKimball Avenue Today!Today!Six of the local taxing bodies

set property tax rates each win-ter or early spring when budgets are adopted. Those bodies are the city government, school district, county government, assessor’s office, Hawkeye Community College and agricultural exten-sion service. The state of Iowa has a standing small property tax rate.

Those seven tax rates are mul-tiplied by the taxable value of a property to determine annual tax bills. Meanwhile, people pur-chasing goods and services — excluding groceries and certain other items — pay a 7 percent sales tax in Black Hawk Coun-ty. Five percent of the sales tax is statewide and supports state government operations.

One percent is statewide and supports school building con-struction and renovation.

The remaining 1 percent comes from a 1-cent local option sales taxes approved by voters to be used by city governments as determined by the voters. Both Waterloo and Cedar Falls use their share of the sales tax for street reconstruction and resurfacing.

State government operates largely on a state income tax and numerous “use taxes,” which include a tax on gasoline sales. While Iowa appears to have a larger income tax rate than many other states, it is one of the few states to allow a deduction for federal income taxes paid.

LIBRARIESWaterloo, Cedar Falls libraries

The Waterloo and Cedar Falls public libraries are two valuable assets for residents in the metro area.

Founded in 1896, the Water-loo Public Library began ser-vice in two rented rooms, one on the east side and one on the west side of the Cedar River. In 1906, the library moved to its new Carnegie buildings, which saw extensive remodeling and

additions over time.The library’s current building,

constructed in 1938, began as Waterloo’s post offi ce and fed-eral building. It served as such until 1979 when the post offi ce was relocated. In 1977, Water-loo voters approved a $3.65 mil-lion bond issue to renovate the building for use as a library.

The Waterloo Public Library now houses a collection of more than 175,000 books, numerous magazines and an ever-grow-

ing collection of videos, DVDs, books on CD and audio CDs.

It also provides free Internet access and computer classes and has a staff of librarians ready to answer questions.

To get a library card, fi ll out a short application form and show staff members an ID con-taining your name and current address. There is no fee to get your fi rst card.

The Cedar Falls Public Library is one of the oldest libraries in

Iowa, incorporated in 1859 by the Cedar Valley Horticultural and Literary Association.

In 1877, W.C. Bryant moved to secure a vote of the city to make the library forever free and to be controlled by the city. Cedar Falls applied for and received a Carnegie grant, and on Aug. 25, 1903, the fi nished building was accepted by the City Council. Cedar Falls voters approved a $3.25 million bond issue October 2001 to help fi nance the con-

struction of a larger building.CFPL, which moved into a

new home at the same location in March 2004, now houses a collection of more than 120,000 books, as well as a large collec-tion of magazines, books on CD, videos and CDs. There is no fee to obtain a library card; fi ll out the application and present an ID with your current address.
