Property tax is administered locally by counties, not the state. Local governments (county, city or town, school district) each set a levy, and your bill is based on your property's assessed market value and classification, so effective rates vary widely by location.

  • IowaInfo

    Iowa has no statewide property tax; it is levied locally on the taxable value of real property. Property is assessed at 100% of market value (agricultural realty is valued on productivity); a statewide rollback can set taxable value below assessed value. Rates are a local composite of county, city, school-district, and special levies, expressed in dollars per $1,000 of taxable value.

  • Property tax is levied locally by your county, city, township, school and park districts (not the state). Residential taxable value is 4.5% of market value, and your bill equals that taxable value times the total local mill levy, so rates vary by location.

  • South Dakota collects no state property tax; the county Director of Equalization assesses property at full-and-true (market) value, which is equalized to 85% to set taxable value, and local taxing jurisdictions apply levies (dollars per thousand of taxable value). Owner-occupied homes get a reduced rate, and assessment-freeze/relief programs exist for the elderly and disabled.

  • Wisconsin's primary local tax: municipal assessors value most property at market value as of Jan 1 (the state assesses manufacturing property and equalizes values across municipalities), and school districts, municipalities, counties, technical colleges and special districts levy on it. School-levy, lottery-and-gaming (primary residence) and first-dollar credits reduce bills; municipal and county levy growth is generally limited to net new construction.
