About ITR Local

ITR Local is a joint project of Iowans for Tax Relief and ITR Foundation.

When local elected officials choose to increase spending and raise property taxes, they need to clearly explain why government needs the money more than the people they represent.

Data on this site was pulled from one of the following sources:

Iowa Data
Iowa Department of Education
Iowa Department of Management
Iowa Department of Revenue
U.S. Census Bureau
Federal Reserve Bank

Read ITR's explanation of why reasonable property tax growth is the combined percent change of inflation and population or enrollment.

Share these charts and tables with your neighbors and, more importantly, use them to start a conversation with the people who determine how much you pay in property taxes: your local school board, city council, and county supervisors.
