Board postpones property taxes on DHS-approved parcels pending transfer
Summary
Supervisors approved requests to postpone (not waive) property taxes for DHS-approved parcels under cited Iowa code sections; taxes will remain payable on transfer of the real estate.
The board approved requests from staff to postpone property tax payments for parcels that have DHS approval under the cited Iowa codes. Officials emphasized that the postponements do not waive taxes; instead, taxes will become due upon transfer of the real estate.
