Iowa Constitution
Article III - OF THE DISTRIBUTION OF POWERS.
§ 38A Municipal home rule.
Municipal
corporations are granted home rule power and authority, not inconsistent
with the laws of the general assembly, to determine their local affairs
and government, except that they shall not have power to levy any tax
unless expressly authorized by the general assembly.
The rule or proposition of law that a municipal corporation possesses and can exercise only those powers granted in express words is not a part of the law of this state.
