(Bettendorf, IA) -- The city of Bettendorf is reassuring residents concerned about property tax increases.
State law requires notices be sent to property owners with an estimate of their taxes for the coming year.
This year's state notice says Bettendorf taxpayers will see a 12.5% increase, but city staff say that's based on an assumption that assessment will rise 10%.
Bettendorf's finance director says assessment for most homeowners remained the same, so the real increase is actually less than 2.5%.
