Residents in Johnson County, including its unincorporated area and smaller towns, can reduce home energy use, increase indoor comfort and save money on energy bills by scheduling a no-cost home energy audit with Green Iowa AmeriCorps. The program is open to those who own houses or apartments, and renters can participate by getting permission from their landlord.

The audit assesses how much energy a home uses and identifies steps to improve energy efficiency. There is no fee for the service, and the audit team can work around residents’ schedules for the home visit.

Conservation Board April 15, 2025 meeting agenda

The Johnson County Board of Supervisors voted to increase the County’s recommended minimum wage to $13.02 per hour, effective Tuesday, July 1, 2025. The Board of Supervisors used Consumer Price Index data to set the increase, which is based on inflation.

Though the wage increase is symbolic in nature and unenforceable under State law, the Supervisors approved the increase to remain in line with the Board’s vote in September 2015 to begin phased increases. The Board of Supervisors has voted to increase the minimum wage in Johnson County since 2015.
