Public Disclosure of Outstanding Levies: SF 2272, section 15 created Iowa Code section 298.6 which requires school districts to provide public access to a list of all outstanding levies by rate, amount, duration, and the applicable maximum levy limitations, at the beginning of the school year, and update the list prior to certifying any levy by board approval or submitting a levy for voter approval. The information is to be posted on the district's internet website or, if the district does not maintain a website, distributed or posted throughout the district. The Department of Management's website includes an Excel spreadsheet with the required information at this location - http://www.dom.state.ia.us/local/property_tax/schools/index.html.
