What’s in it

AI summary This bill changes how money is shared for workforce housing tax credits. It limits how much of the leftover funding can be set aside for housing projects in Iowa's two largest counties. These new rules would apply to projects registered on or after July 1, 2025.1

Read the official explanation

Currently, certain economic development tax credit amounts are capped at $170 million in the aggregate per fiscal year under Code section 15.119. In allocating the tax credits pursuant to Code section 15.119, the workforce housing tax incentive program limit is $35 million in most instances, and of that amount allocated to workforce housing tax incentives, $17.5 million is reserved for projects in small cities. Of the remaining moneys not allocated to small cities, this bill specifies that no more than one-third of the remaining moneys shall be reserved for qualified housing projects wholly located in the two most populous counties in the state, that are registered on or after July 1, 2025.
