County Financial Overview

The County Financial Overview is designed to be a resource for county officials, state legislators and all Iowa citizens. It contains information on property taxes and valuations, county budgets, population and local option sales taxes, to name a few. Most of the data was supplied by the Iowa Department of Revenue or the Iowa Department of Management, and the source for each table is noted.
