The amendments modify Section 3205 regarding township and special tax levies, allowing township boards of supervisors to levy taxes on real property for various purposes, including general township operations (up to fourteen mills, potentially increased to nineteen mills by court petition), highway lighting (five mills), public buildings (fifty percent of general tax rate), fire protection (three mills with provisions for employee compensation), fire hydrants (two mills), parks and recreation, and debt service. The act was passed on December 1, 2004, as House Bill 250 and represents updates to taxation authority originally established in 1933.

The Des Moines City Council considered an ordinance to continue the Downtown Self-Supported Municipal Improvement District (SSMI) for an additional five years beginning July 1, 2009, pursuant to Chapter 386 of the Iowa Code. The SSMI would generate approximately $2,125,444 in annual revenue based on a maximum assessment rate of $2.00 per $1,000 of non-residential property valuation within the district (current rate is $1.00 per $1,000), with funding sourced entirely from non-residential property owners and no impact on the city's general tax rate. The ordinance was presented for its second reading and vote on January 26, 2009, following the Plan and Zoning Commission's review and a public hearing held on December 8, 2008.
