At  nearly 3 a.m. on one of the last nights of the legislative session, Iowa lawmakers passed a bill that  requires tax-paying Iowans get the chance to weigh in on property tax increases. Senate File 634 passed after significant changes, including the removal of a hard cap on how much those tax revenues could increase. That means relief for many communities who  spoke out against the proposal, but others are still holding onto doubts. "Most years it won't affect our finances significantly," says Simon Andrew, who is the assistant to Iowa City's city manager. Mr. Andrew says Iowa City will be fine for now because they've kept property tax revenue growth down. However, he says this new bill doesn't leave much wiggle room for when budgets hit speed bumps. "For instance, one of our significant property tax increases was after the floods of 2008," Mr. Andrew said. Just down the road in Coralville, City Administrator Kelly Hayworth says this version is workable. "We felt like local councils and mayors are really the best people to make decisions for their communities," Mr. Hayworth said. City councils or county boards would vote to approve increases over 2 percent; the vote would only pass with a two-thirds majority. To read the full story, click here.
