Iowa City Today

City of Coralville recently issued the following announcement.

The Coralville City Council will hold a public hearing for the proposed Fiscal Year 2023 property tax levy during the City Council meeting at 6:30 pm on Tuesday, February 8, 2022. The meeting will be held at Coralville City Hall, 1512 7th Street.

Coralville’s property tax levy rate is $14.3123 per $1,000 of taxable valuation. Coralville’s property tax levy rate is established by the City. The City Council is not proposing a change to the property tax rate this year.

The property tax levy hearing is a step in the budget process to further notify the public about property tax changes. At the public hearing, any resident or taxpayer may present objections to, or arguments in favor of, the proposed tax levy. View the FY23 Maximum Property Tax Levy Hearing Notice (PDF)   

The notice for the hearing contains three columns of information:

• The first column shows the property tax dollars and rates for the current fiscal year. 
• The second column carries those same property tax dollars forward to Fiscal Year 2023 and calculates the tax rate that would produce. 
• The third column shows the property tax dollars and rate proposed for Fiscal Year 2023, including a calculation of the percentage change.

After adoption of the proposed property tax levy, the Council will publish notice and hold a hearing on the proposed city budget.
