Property tax is an estimate — assessed value × Iowa rollback (≈46% residential) × a representative Clinton consolidated levy (~$40 per $1,000). Actual bills vary by district and year.

Iowa bids down the percentage of undivided ownership (§446.16, floor 1%). A contested parcel may convey only a fractional interest, so the deed play is realistic mainly when little or no competition bids it down.
