		The final tax rate is the result of budgets established to provide services, an assessor’s assessment, a county auditor’s calculations, and laws administered by the Iowa Department of Revenue.
		The Iowa property tax is primarily a tax on "real property," which is mostly land, buildings, structures, and other improvements that are constructed on or in the land, attached to the land, or placed upon a foundation.

		But it's beyond debate that income taxes are always more volatile than property taxes, swinging wildly with the fortunes of the high-income taxpayers who already bear a disproportionately large share of the burden.
