Terms Used In Iowa Code 24.30
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
- state: when applied to the different parts of the United States, includes the District of Columbia and the territories, and the words "United States" may include the said district and territories. See Iowa Code 4.1
- state board: shall mean the state appeal board as created by section 24. See Iowa Code 24.2
- tax: shall mean any general or special tax levied against persons, property, or business, for public purposes as provided by law, but shall not include any special assessment nor any tax certified or levied by township trustees. See Iowa Code 24.2
It shall be the duty of the state board to review and finally pass upon all proposed budget expenditures, tax levies, and tax assessments from which appeal is taken. The state board shall have power and authority to approve, disapprove, or reduce all such proposed budgets, expenditures, and tax levies so submitted to it upon appeal, as provided in this chapter; but in no event may it increase such budget, expenditure, tax levies or assessments or any item contained therein. The state board shall have authority to adopt rules not inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter, to employ necessary assistants, authorize such expenditures, require such reports, make such investigations, and take such other action as it deems necessary to promptly hear and determine all such appeals; provided, however, that all persons so employed shall be selected from persons then regularly employed in some one of the offices of the members of the state board.
