HSB 768 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to school district budgeting by modifying provisions relating to proposed property tax amounts.

This bill modifies Iowa school district budgeting rules to allow districts to increase their proposed property tax amounts after a public hearing, unlike cities and counties which are restricted from doing so. The change is intended to address delays in enrollment data and state aid legislation that can impact school funding needs. Additionally, the bill sets a limit on proposed tax dollars if state growth percentages are not established by March 5, preventing them from exceeding the previous year's rates. These provisions directly affect school districts and their ability to adjust budgets during the fiscal planning process.
