(Spirit Lake)– Property taxpayers across Iowa are receiving notifications in the mail from their local County Auditor about tax rates. It’s the first time such notices have been sent and is the result of a recent change in state law. Dickinson County Auditor Lori Pedersen says it will include information on proposed city, school district and county budgets but does not include proposed budgets for smaller taxing authorities…
Pedersen points out that the actual impact of the tax rates on your property could be significantly different than the examples in the letter, which do not factor any recent changes in assessed value. Pedersen adds those who own more than one property may receive multiple letters if those properties are in different tax districts. She adds property tax payers in Dickinson county can expect to receive the correspondence in coming days…
The letters will also include information on public hearings to be held by the various taxing entities prior to them adopting their budgets.
