Iowa is considering significant property tax reforms as rising assessments lead to higher homeowner bills, making it the 10th state with the highest tax burden. Proposed bills aim to replace the current rollback system, which limits taxable value growth, with a stricter revenue-restricted model allowing a maximum 2% annual revenue increase. Critics, including local officials, warn this could undermine public safety by forcing budget cuts, echoing national concerns about balancing tax relief with maintaining quality services as home equity continues to rise.
