Important information regarding the March 2025 Johnson County proposed tax levy statements

The tax statement you recently received from Johnson County attempts to calculate and illustrate the county’s share of property taxes to be levied on your property. The percentage increase for the upcoming proposed FY 2025/2026 budget year assumes that your property’s assessed value will increase by 10% over the current year’s assessed value. This is an assumption the State of Iowa built into this statement and is a decision which Johnson County has no control.
