Summary
The Wayne County Board of Supervisors approved Resolution 26‑33 on June 23, 2026, setting Payments In Lieu Of Taxes (PILOT) at zero percent for Area XV Multi‑County Housing Agency properties in the county, effective June 23, 2026 and retroactive to fiscal years ending 2022–2025. The board cited HUD regulations and Iowa Code §403A.5 and approved the motion unanimously.
The Wayne County Board of Supervisors approved a resolution setting Payments In Lieu Of Taxes (PILOT) at 0% for properties owned or operated by the Area XV Multi‑County Housing Agency in Wayne County.
The board adopted Resolution 26‑33 on June 23, 2026; Todd Wilson moved approval and Lance Lange seconded. The resolution sets PILOT at zero percent effective June 23, 2026 and applies retroactively to fiscal years ending 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025. The resolution states the change is intended to preserve affordable housing and cites applicable federal HUD regulations and Iowa Code §403A.5.
According to the resolution text, the affected addresses include properties in Allerton (611 W Elm & 106 N Wayne Street), Corydon (408 E Anthony, 300 E South, 310 E South, 413 E South) and Seymour (511 E Main, 513 E Main, 603 E Main, 605 E Main). The board’s written finding notes increased operating costs and capital and maintenance needs that, in the board’s view, could impair the financial viability of the housing projects if PILOT obligations continued at prior levels.
Chair Chris Moore was authorized by the board to execute any documents necessary to carry out the resolution. The motion passed unanimously with all three supervisors present voting in favor.
The action was recorded in the meeting minutes; the resolution remains in effect until modified or rescinded by subsequent board action or until material financial conditions change.
