Property tax laws among most complex in nation T
he Waterloo-Cedar FallsWaverly area has a lot to offer in the way of recreation and education, 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 homeowners scratching their heads each fall when tax bills arrive from the Black Hawk County Treasurer’s Office. A number of changes to Iowa’s tax code were in debate in the Legislature as of this writing, but as yet, none have been approved. Seven different local governments eventually get a share of those property tax payments, which are payable in two installments — one in September 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 value can change annually either by an assessor’s review or by equalization 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 Office 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 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 local taxing bodies set property tax rates each winter 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-

Those seven tax rates are multiplied by the taxable value of a property to determine annual tax bills. Meanwhile, people purchasing goods and services — excluding groceries and certain other items — pay a 7 percent sales tax in Black Hawk County. Five percent of the sales tax
is statewide and supports state government operations. One percent is statewide and supports school building construction and renovation. The remaining 1 percent comes from 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

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.

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 DVDs, books on CD, audio CDs, along with free downloadable audiobooks, eBooks and music. 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.
