Scott County property tax calculator 2026

How it works
Scott County property tax is based on taxable value, not the full assessed value shown on an assessment notice. The county’s process applies state-ordered rollback percentages to assessed value to arrive at a taxable amount, then applies levy rates set by the relevant taxing districts (county, cities, schools, and other districts). Because taxing districts and levies differ across locations, the effective combined rate can vary materially from one property to another.
Examples
If two properties have the same taxable value but sit in different taxing districts, their estimated tax can differ because the combined levy rates are not necessarily the same. The same assessed value can also translate into different taxable values when rollback treatment differs by property class and when exemptions or credits apply.
Limitations and important notes
This is an estimate, not an official tax bill. Scott County levies are determined by multiple taxing districts, and the combined rate can vary by location and local measures. Rollback percentages, exemptions, and credits depend on statewide rules and eligibility, so actual results may differ from this simplified estimate.

Is this an official Scott County tax bill amount?
No. This calculator provides an estimated annual property tax based on taxable value and a combined local property tax rate.
Why can the property tax rate differ within Scott County?
Scott County includes multiple taxing districts, each with its own levy. The combined local rate can vary based on the districts that apply to a specific property.
What value should be used for the calculation?
The estimate is based on taxable value. In Iowa, taxable value is derived from assessed value using state-ordered rollback percentages and then reduced by applicable exemptions or credits.
Do exemptions or credits change the estimate?
They can. Exemptions and credits reduce the taxable amount or the net tax, and eligibility rules may vary, so this estimate may not reflect every situation.
