Iowa HF2290 standardizes the number of township trustees to three, regardless of taxable valuation.

Iowa HF2290 revises the composition of the board of township trustees. Currently, townships with a taxable valuation for property tax purposes of $250 million or more must have a board consisting of five registered voters. This bill changes the law to require all townships to have a board of three registered voters, regardless of taxable valuation. Trustees will continue to act as fence viewers and perform other duties as assigned by law, with the board meeting at least twice a year.
