What’s in it

31, in part, governs the composition of local boards of review, which are required to hear property assessment protests. Under current law, if a city having a population of more than 125,000 abolishes its office of city assessor, the city may provide, by ordinance, for a city board of review or request the county conference board to appoint a 10-member county board of review. This bill specifies that for a 10-member county board of review, the chairperson of the board may authorize the board of review to convene subunits of the board of not less than three members for the purpose of conducting a hearing, receiving evidence, and making recommendations for the resolution of protests to be considered by the full board of review.

Read the full explanation

A protest considered by a subunit of the board must subsequently be considered by the full board of review for final disposition.2(2), and the meeting shall be conducted in accordance with Iowa’s open meetings law. The bill takes effect upon enactment and applies to assessment protests for assessment years beginning on or after January 1, 2023.
