About This Program

The Grant Map catalogs Iowa Solar Energy System Tax Exemption in its Grimes, IA research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.

Iowa law exempts the added home value from a solar energy system from property tax assessment. Homeowners who install solar panels will not see an increase in property taxes due to the system's added value, making solar more affordable.
