1 Amend House File 692 as follows:
2 1. Page 1, line 16, by striking the words "as
3 promptly as possible" and inserting the following:
4 "as promptly as possible within thirty days of
5 receiving the assessment notice in section 441.23".
6 2. Page 2, by inserting after line 5, the
7 following:
8 "Sec. . NEW SECTION. 441.20 LEGISLATIVE
9 INTENT.
10 It is the intent of the general assembly that there
11 be transparency in the property tax system. It is
12 further the intent of the general assembly that
13 property assessments for purposes of property taxation
14 be equal and uniform within classes of property. It
15 is further the intent of the general assembly to
16 minimize the impact that maintenance and upkeep by the
17 owner of property has on the assessment of that
18 property and that there be predictability in increases
19 of property assessments and that such predictability
20 be based primarily on the actions of the property
21 owner. It is further the intent of the general
22 assembly to minimize the impact that increases in
23 assessed value of property will have on property taxes
24 paid and that any increases will be primarily the
25 result of direct action taken by the local taxing
26 authority in setting budget amounts rather than by
27 increases in market value of property."
28 3. Page 2, by striking lines 12 through 19.
29 4. Page 7, by inserting after line 9, the
30 following:
31 "d. If a county enters into a contract before May

33 appraiser and such revaluation is for the assessment
34 year beginning January 1, 2006, the valuations
35 determined under the comprehensive revaluation for
36 that assessment year shall be divided by the

40 assessment year beginning January 1, 2005."
41 5. Page 7, by inserting after line 9, the
42 following:
43 "6A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this

6 considered residential property."
7 7. Page 10, line 25, by inserting after the word
8 "assessment." the following: "The notification shall
9 include a supplemental return form for the person to

27 order the equalization of the assessed value per
28 square foot resulting from the application of the
29 cumulative inflation factor in the several assessing
30 jurisdictions in each case as may be necessary to
31 bring such values as fixed by the assessor in cases of
32 purchases of property and newly constructed property
33 to the values determined for the assessment year
34 beginning January 1, 2005. In equalizing the effects
35 of the application of the cumulative inflation factor,
36 the department shall make use of reports issued by
37 Iowa state university of science and technology which
38 reports shall more precisely indicate, on a county-by-
39 county basis, annual and cumulative inflation factors
40 for each county. If the cumulative inflation factor
41 for an assessing jurisdiction as reported by Iowa
42 state university of science and technology is five
43 percent above or below the cumulative inflation factor
44 as defined in section 441.21, subsection 7, the
45 director shall notify the assessor by mail of the
46 equalization of the effects of the cumulative
47 inflation factor for the assessing jurisdiction. The
48 assessor shall recompute the assessments made pursuant
49 to section 441.21, subsection 3, paragraph "b",
50 subparagraph (1), subsection 4, paragraph "b",
Page 3
1 subparagraph (1), and subsection 5, paragraph "b",

3 factor. The assessor shall send notice of the
4 equalized assessments to all affected property
5 owners."
6 10. Page 25, by striking line 3, and inserting
7 the following: "whether or not maximum square footage
8 rates and land tax rates should be imposed and, if
