Notice of Public Hearing on Proposed Property Tax Levy

Posted on Saturday, March 8, 2025.  Click here for the official Notice of Public Hearing.

Iowa law requires that each County mail all property owners a budget year statement. The Iowa legislature passed a bill, HF 718, which requires all Cities to hold a separate “Proposed Property Tax Levy Hearing”.  At this hearing, the Proposed FY 26 Property Tax Levies will be considered.

The statement includes proposed property tax rates for the upcoming fiscal year for the school, county, and city. The mailing from the County Auditor’s office should be arriving in your mailbox soon.

The mailing also notifies residents of a public hearing regarding the City of Atkins proposed tax levy rate. The Atkins City Council will conduct said public hearing at a special City Council meeting on Tuesday, March 25, 2025, at 6:00 PM, in the City Hall Council Chambers, 480 3rd Avenue.
