Property tax is assessed and collected locally. County assessors set your property's market value, apply a classification percentage to reach assessed value (19% for residential), then local taxing districts apply their levies, so rates vary by county and district.

    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.
