What school district serves the City of Des Moines?
Most of the city is served by the Des Moines Independent Community School District (Des Moines Public Schools, DMPS), Iowa’s largest public school district. The city is not entirely inside DMPS, however — some Des Moines addresses at the city’s edges lie in other districts, including Saydel and Southeast Polk. Check a specific address against the Iowa Department of Education’s district-boundary data or through DMPS enrollment before relying on a district for that home.
How do property taxes work in Des Moines, Iowa?
Iowa has no Arkansas-style millage. The Polk County Assessor first estimates a property’s fair market value (assessed at 100% of actual value). The Iowa Department of Revenue’s statewide assessment limitation — the “rollback” — then reduces that to a taxable value (for residential property, 47.4316% for assessment year 2024, the latest year in the Revenue table retrieved 2026-10-24). That taxable value, per $1,000, is multiplied by the consolidated levy for that property’s taxing district — the sum of the city, county, school district, and other taxing authorities for that exact location. The City of Des Moines’ own City Regular component in the state’s FY2025-26 levy notice is $16.61 per $1,000 of taxable value; the consolidated total varies by taxing district, so there is no single honest citywide consolidated rate in this file.
