For A Better Waukee
Property Taxes
Create revenue-generation options and cost-savings measures that reduce our reliance on property taxes and for those taxes that are required, ensure they are equitable and fair for the taxpayer and city alike.
Affordable Housing
Advocate for more state funding and support for affordable housing projects, including expanded financial assistance, tax incentives, and streamlined regulations.
Infrastructure
Ensure that taxable valuation of new or redeveloped properties adequately cover the cost of required public services and infrastructure, thereby eliminating barriers to sustainable economic growth.
