There are 99
counties in Iowa ranging in population from about 4,400 residents
(Adams County) to approximately 380,000 residents (Polk County). All
99 counties operate under the board of supervisor form of
government. Historically, the role of counties has been to serve as
an administrative arm of the state - maintaining records, providing
courts and law enforcement, building roads, assisting the mentally
ill, immunizing children, assessing property and collecting taxes,
and conducting elections. Counties still perform these functions, as
well as others, through full-time elected officials including a
board of county supervisors, sheriff, recorder, treasurer, attorney,
and auditor. |
ISAC was established by law on June 30, 1971 with the signing of SF 37. ISAC is comprised of several statewide associations called affiliates. In total, there are 15 of these associations that are affiliated with ISAC.
