PROPERTY EXEMPT AND TAXABLE, §427.9
427.9 Suspension of taxes, assessments, and rates or charges, including interest, fees,
and costs.
If a person is a recipient of federal supplementary security income or state supplementary
assistance, as defined in section 249.1, or is a resident of a health care facility, as defined by
section 135C.1, which is receiving payment from the department of human services for the
person’s care, the person shall be deemed to be unable to contribute to the public revenue.
The director of human services shall notify a person receiving such assistance of the tax
suspension provision and shall provide the person with evidence to present to the appropriate
county board of supervisors which shows the person’s eligibility for tax suspension on parcels
owned, possessed, or upon which the person is paying taxes as a purchaser under contract.
The board of supervisors so notified, without the filing of a petition and statement as specified
in section 427.8, shall order the county treasurer to suspend the collection of all the taxes,
special assessments, and rates or charges, including interest, fees, and costs, assessed against
the parcels and remaining unpaid by the person or contractually payable by the person, for
such time as the person remains the owner or contractually prospective owner of the parcels,
and during the period the person receives assistance as described in this section. The county
board of supervisors shall annually send to the department of human services the names and
social security numbers of persons receiving a tax suspension pursuant to this section. The
department shall verify the continued eligibility for tax suspension of each name on the list
and shall return the list to the board of supervisors. The director of human services shall
advise the person that the person may apply for an additional property tax credit pursuant to
sections 425.16 to 425.39 which shall be credited against the amount of the taxes suspended.
