How is the residential rollback calculated?
Iowa Code Section 441.21 (4). For valuations established as of January 1, 1979, the percentage of actual value at which
agricultural and residential property shall be assessed shall be the quotient of the dividend and divisor as defined in this
section. The dividend for each class of property shall be the dividend as determined for each class of property for valuations
established as of January 1, 1978, adjusted by the product obtained by multiplying the percentage determined for that year by
the amount of any additions or deletions to actual value, excluding those resulting from the revaluation of existing properties,
as reported by the assessors on the abstracts of assessment for 1978, plus six percent of the amount so determined. However, if
the difference between the dividend so determined for either class of property and the dividend for that class of property for
valuations established as of January 1, 1978, adjusted by the product obtained by multiplying the percentage determined for
that year by the amount of any additions or deletions to actual value, excluding those resulting from the revaluation of existing
properties, as reported by the assessors on the abstracts of assessment for 1978, is less than six percent, the 1979 dividend for
the other class of property shall be the dividend as determined for that class of property for valuations established as of January
1, 1978, adjusted by the product obtained by multiplying the percentage determined for that year by the amount of any
additions or deletions to actual value, excluding those resulting from the revaluation of existing properties, as reported by the
assessors on the abstracts of assessment for 1978, plus a percentage of the amount so determined which is equal to the
percentage by which the dividend as determined for the other class of property for valuations established as of January 1, 1978,
adjusted by the product obtained by multiplying the percentage determined for that year by the amount of any additions or
deletions to actual value, excluding those resulting from the revaluation of existing properties, as reported by the assessors on
the abstracts of assessment for 1978, is increased in arriving at the 1979 dividend for the other class of property. The divisor for
each class of property shall be the total actual value of all such property in the state in the preceding year, as reported by the
assessors on the abstracts of assessment submitted for 1978, plus the amount of value added to said total actual value by the
revaluation of existing properties in 1979 as equalized by the director of revenue pursuant to section 441.49 . The director shall
utilize information reported on abstracts of assessment submitted pursuant to section 441.45 in determining such percentage.
For valuations established as of January 1, 1980, and each year thereafter, the percentage of actual value as equalized by the
director of revenue as provided in section 441.49 at which agricultural and residential property shall be assessed shall be
calculated in accordance with the methods provided herein including the limitation of increases in agricultural and residential
assessed values to the percentage increase of the other class of property if the other class increases less than the allowable
limit adjusted to include the applicable and current values as equalized by the director of revenue, except that any references
to six percent in this subsection shall be four percent. ( 561 words )
