Starting July 1, urban Polk County residents will pay $6.77 per $1,000 in taxable valuation, while rural residents will pay $11.32. That’s a decrease of 36 cents from the last fiscal year. The county was able to lower its tax levy in part because Iowa shifted funding for its mental health system from property taxes to the state’s general fund. That took away a mental health tax levy of 38 cents.
