Fiscal note

AI summary Senate File 2472 contains 26 divisions that change property tax assessments, rates, credits, and exemptions, while also modifying budget processes and state appropriations. The Department of Management estimates $130,000 in information technology costs to implement these changes. Additionally, the bill reduces the fiscal year 2028 State General Fund expenditure limitation by $125.0 million and redirects certain excess Iowa Economic Emergency Fund balances to the Taxpayer Relief Fund in fiscal year 2029.1

From the note: The analysis of this Division estimates the fiscal impact of this Division in isolation and does not account for interactions or combined effects with other Divisions of the Act. Figure 2 displays the estimated reduction in property tax revenue to counties.
