Resident questions timing of tax notices; auditor says mailings complied with Iowa Code
Summary
A Floyd County property owner questioned whether mailed tax-notice envelopes were sent in a timely manner; Auditor Morrigan Montagne said the county's mailings complied with Iowa Code § 24.2A at the March 24 public hearing.
John Zimmerman raised concerns during public comment that mailed notices about proposed property tax levies may not have been sent in a timely manner to Floyd County property owners. Zimmerman said he had spoken with residents who believed the notices were delayed.
Auditor Morrigan Montagne responded to the concern, assuring the Board that "the notices were mailed in compliance with Iowa Code § 24.2A." Chair Gloria A. Carr also advised residents that rates shown for other taxing authorities on the county notice fall outside the Board of Supervisors' jurisdiction and recommended that concerned residents attend those other authorities' public hearings.
The exchange produced an auditor affirmation of statutory compliance but did not include independent documentation of mailing dates in the transcript. Residents seeking confirmation were directed to county offices and the relevant taxing authorities for further inquiry.
