Frommelt backs no exceptions to 27 percent tax law
Iowa State Sen. Andrew Frommelt urges the state tax commission to apply the 27 percent assessment of fair market value without exemptions. He says any special carve outs would undermine equalization, despite Farm Bureau concerns over farm land tax burden and rising property taxes. He notes the law aims for uniform assessments and hints at possible adjustments to agricultural tax credits if needed.
