Real estate information
County
Auditors closely interact with other governmental offices.
Counties, cities,
school districts and other forms of
government rely
heavily on local property taxes to provide services to the
public. County Auditors compile budget data from all jurisdictions
that levy property taxes to determine the taxes paid by each
property owner.
County Recorders
provide
Auditors with information on real estate transactions so that the
Auditor can keep accurate plat maps and property transfer records.
County Assessors
determine
the value of each parcel of property in the county and pass these
values to Auditors for the computation of tax rates and individual
tax amounts.
The Auditor passes the
tax list to the County Treasurer, who collects the taxes for
all property taxing bodies.
The Auditor works with
the Iowa Departments of Management and Revenue and the
State Auditor regarding tax and finance matters.
The Auditor works closely with the
Iowa Secretary of State regarding elections and voter registration.
