Guthrie County Assessor Nikki Carrick issued a notice concerning a YouTube video claiming that Congress has changed property tax rules for homeowners born in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. She notes that this claim is false and does not apply to Iowa, stating that Congress has not created a nationwide property tax exemption or freeze based on a homeowner’s birth decade.
“Iowa property tax credits and exemptions are established by state law and have specific eligibility requirements,” she shared. “Residents of Iowa should rely on information from the Iowa Department of Revenue or contact the Guthrie County Assessor’s office before submitting any application or providing any personal information.”
