House Demos Reach Accord on Property Tax Plan
Des Moines Iowa Democrats after a long night reached a tax package aimed to pass the Senate. The plan would 100 percent tax farm land on earning capacity, cap residential and agricultural valuation increases at six percent for two years, freeze personal property tax phase-out, extend farm and homestead credits, and impose a recapture clause requiring five years of back taxes on lands sold for other uses. Urban lawmakers pressed for homeowner credits and adjustments to ease burden on city residents, while some feared homeowners would bear the load.
