Iowa does not cap assessed value growth at purchase or annually — reassessment to market value occurs after your purchase, eliminating any grandfathered rate the prior owner may have had. Lee County offers a Homestead Exemption (owner-occupied) and Disabled Persons Tax Exemption; file with the county assessor's office. Apply for homestead exemption at the Lee County Assessor's office within 30 days of your purchase to ensure the exemption begins in the first tax year.
