Homeowners who would like to have greener and healthier lawns without the use of chemicals can apply to have 50% of the costs for soil quality restoration reimbursed (up to $2,000) through the Johnson County Soil Health - Soil Quality Restoration Program. 

Good, quality soil absorbs more water and provides the nutrients that a lawn needs to be healthy. The result is a reduced need for watering, fertilizers and pesticides, with less runoff and fewer pollutants going into local streams.

The first installment of Johnson County property and mobile home taxes is due on Sept. 1, 2025. Other than tax sale redemptions, payments must be delivered to the Treasurer’s Office, paid online, or postmarked by Sept. 30 to avoid a 1.5% monthly penalty that will begin Oct. 1. The U.S. Postal Service postmark is the only date recognized for date of mailing. The date written on a check, or a business metered date, cannot be accepted as proof of the mailing date. Residents who would like a receipt must include a self-addressed stamped envelope with their payment.

Johnson County will host two public input sessions on Wednesday, Sept. 10, for community members to continue a discussion on housing issues in the county’s non-metro area. 

The sessions will be led by CommunityScale, which is preparing a housing assessment and recommended actions for the unincorporated area, villages and the six small cities of Hills, Lone Tree, Oxford, Shueyville, Solon and Swisher. The study also considers issues related to manufactured home parks anywhere in the county. 

Most Johnson County governmental offices will be closed on Monday, Sept. 1, 2025, in observance of Labor Day. 

Detailed schedule changes include: 

Ambulance: Johnson County Ambulance Service (JCAS) will be available for routine and emergency response. The JCAS billing and administrative offices will be closed. Emergency services remain available 365 days a year. In an emergency, residents should always dial 911.
