Resolution approving the City of Council Bluffs Proposed Property Tax Levy for fiscal year ending June 30, 2026.
Background/Discussion

With the passage of HF 718 and SF 2442 by the Iowa Legislature, new budget requirements were implemented by the Iowa Department of Management starting with the FY25 Budget. 

The new bills aimed to further notify the public about property tax changes and requires a new public notice format to be held as a special public hearing separate from other City business.

This is a required step in the budget approval process. The proposed property tax levy will be approved with the FY26 Annual Operating Budget prior to April 30, 2025.
