List of Iowa townships

This alphabetic list of townships in Iowa is based on the U.S. Census for 2000. Iowa has 1,599 townships.

Townships in the U.S. state of Iowa are distinct geographical areas. For civil administrative purposes, Iowa state law allows each county board of supervisors to divide the county into townships.[1] An elected or appointed board of trustees governs each township. The trustees are often elected, but may be appointed by the county board of supervisors if authorized by voters after a referendum. Township trustees also serve as fence viewers and may resolve conflicts upon request. Iowa townships may provide fire protection, emergency medical services, cemeteries, community centers, playgrounds, and, upon voter approval, public halls. Although Iowa townships may levy taxes, the county board of supervisors issues anticipatory bonds on behalf of the township and the compensation of township trustees (other than fees) is paid by the county government. For this reason, townships in Iowa are classified as administrative subdivisions of the counties and are not counted as separate governments in the United States Census of Governments.[1]

gollark: Indeed.
gollark: I mean, Wyatt's threats are more of a nuisance than anything serious. But they haven't stopped or recanted them sooo…
gollark: Yes.
gollark: To be fair, they weren't very effective at it.
gollark: <@&198138780132179968> Wyatt's reminded me that they have a house in Chorus City on one of their accounts (at 3974 48 -2829) and I was wondering what could be done with it, since they're banned (possibly permanently?).
