FY27 Budget Planning Presentation

Property owners received a notice of proposed property tax from either the Clinton County Auditor's Office or the Scott County Auditor's Office. The back page of the notice provides examples for residential and commercial properties to illustrate how taxes could change when property values or tax rates change. These are only examples, your actual bill is based on your property's valuation and the final adopted budgets.

To see how the proposed rates will affect your property, use the Iowa Department of Management's excel property tax tool below.
