Rural urban tax shift cited by Lipsky in Iowa
Rep. Joan Lipsky of Cedar Rapids says she is vindicated by Department of Revenue and Comptroller Selden projections that the 1977 Iowa property tax law will shift much of the burden from rural farmers to urban homeowners. She warns the Legislature created a difficult situation by altering farmland assessment away from market values and notes urban lawmakers will push to restore balance next session.
