The market value, assessed value and taxable value of your house are often nothing alike. The market value is what your house would sell for in the current market. The assessed value is what your county tax assessor reports the house is worth for purposes of calculating your property tax bill. Taxable value is the figure you actually pay tax on.
Taxes are based on two factors: the assessed value of the property and the total local tax rate. Property values in Iowa are assessed every two years by county and city assessors. Every county has its own assessor, as do ten cities. The assessor looks at market and property factors in order to determine the market value of the property. Assessed value, to which tax rates apply, is based on market value.
