HELLO
good cast
IT IS SPRING TIME
bad cast
and people’s thoughts are turning towards yard, garden, and remodeling. As you dream and plan, here are a couple of ideas to remember:
Old piping, as in cast and copper sewer/vent piping. Iowa has many older homes and these have piping that is getting to the end of its life span. Over the last few years, we have had to remove sections of kitchens and baths that were remodeled by some local contractors to replace piping that should have been done when the initial remodel was completed. Unfortunately, sometimes this is after the warranty has expired and the consumer pays twice for the work. Old piping, as in copper and galvanized water lines. Not too many years ago, waterlines were sized 3/8th and 1/2 inch. When you flush a toilet or your washing machine runs, do you lose pressure in your shower or other parts of the house? Are you starting to have periodic leaks in the piping? All of this could be due to the age of the lines. And like your sewer/vent lines, when these are exposed, the cost of upgrading them at that time is far less than if you have to remove new floors and walls twice.
Ask questions of your contractor and your local inspectors, as they are willing to answer questions, as long as you do not drive them to distraction. Remember, they have a lot of ground to cover. Have a great spring and summer.

sales tax for street reconstruction and resurfacing. State government operates largely on a st ate income tax and numerous “use taxes,” which include a t ax on g asoline sales. While Iowa appears to have a larger income tax rate than many other states, it is one of the f ew states to allow a deduction for federal income taxes paid.

taxing purposes by applying for a “homestead tax credit” at the Assessor’s Office. 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 different “rollback” orders each year for the various classes of property. Six of the loc al taxing bodies set property tax rates each winter or e arly spring w hen budgets are adopted. Those bodies are the city government, school district, county government, assessor’s office, Hawkeye Community College and agricultur al extension

The Waterloo-Cedar FallsWaverly area has a lot t o offer in the way of r ecreation and education, but there’s still no w ay to avoid taxes. Iowa’s property tax laws are among the mo st complex in the nation and could leave homeowners scratching their he ads each fall when tax bills arrive from the Black Hawk County Treasurer’s Office . A number of chang es to Iowa’s tax code were in debate at the Iowa Legislature as of this writing, but as yet, none have been approved. Seven different local governments eventually get a shar e of those property tax payments, which are payable in t wo installments — one in S eptember and the other in March. The payments finance governments that operate on a fiscal year starting July 1. The property tax system starts with the assessed value of a property as determined by the county assessor’s office. That v alue can change annually either b y an assessor’s review or b y equalization orders, which are mandated changes in v alue ordered by the Iowa Department of Revenue and Finance. Property owners can appeal values they deem unfair at the Assessor’s Office in the Black Hawk County Courthouse. Anyone who owns a home the y live in also is eligible to have a small portion of their value removed for

LIBRARIES The Waterloo and Cedar Falls public libraries are two valuable assets for residents in the metro area.
Waterloo library 415 Commercial St., Waterloo 50701 Phone: 291-4480 E-mail: infowiz.wpl@gmail.com; website: www.waterloo.lib.ia.us Hours: 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday- Thursday; 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday; (September through May) 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday. Founded in 1896, the Waterloo Public Library began service 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 office and federal building. It served as such until 1979 when the post office was relocated. In 1977, Waterloo voters approved a $3.65 million 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-growing collection of videos, DVDs, books on CD, audio CDs, along with downloadable audiobooks and eBooks. It also provides free Internet access and computer classes and has a staff of librarians ready to answer questions. To get a library card, fill out a short application form and show staff members an ID containing your name and current address. There is no fee to get your first card.

day; 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday through Saturday; (September through May) 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday 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 finished building was accepted by the City Council. Cedar Falls voters approved a $3.25 million bond issue October 2001 to help finance the construction 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 collection of magazines, books on CD, videos, CDs and downloadable eBooks and audiobooks. There is no fee to obtain a library card; fill out the application and present an ID with your current address.
