                    Property Taxes due Sept     2024 (estimated)                  $2,606

                    Property Taxes due Sept 2021 (Scott County has yet to give amount) Slight increase from last tax year due to property appraisal increase.

The next property tax installments are due March 2024. Property TY2023 amount yet to be released from Scott County.   House insurance is estimated at $3,500.  

The tax assessed value of the property is $186,280 for TY2022

The tax assessed value of the property is $179,540 for TY2021 

The tax assessed value of the property is $179,540 for TY2020

The tax assessed value of the property is $167,760 for TY2016 

The tax assessed value of the property is $159,200 for TY2015 and $159,200 for for 2014 and  $159,200 for TY2013 and was $159,200 for TY2012 and $163,700 for TY2011 there was a $4,500 reduction in assessed value upon appeal with a site inspection.

Actual taxes paid for tax year 2011-12 was $7,373.29 and tax bill for tax year 2012-13 is $6,843.15 that is a $530.14 reduction in taxes.  This is actually good as most properties in that part Davenport saw an increase of tax bill versus the reduction we were able to get.

The property taxes have increased by $1,654 from tax year 2010 to 2011.  After a call to the county assessor’s office in July of 2011 we have learned that the property has recently been reevaluated and compared to comparable properties in the area, the assessor “feels” that the increase (over $40,000) in property value is fair and justified.  We are disputing the excessive tax increase and the increase in the property value.  Channing Bolick, met with the Scott County property appraiser on 8/11/2011 at this meeting I was able to get the appraiser to lower the assessed value of the house and to changed the assessment category from Commercial to Residential millage rate.  The combined changes should cut the property taxes by an estimated 50%.  

Fast forward to August of 2012, the tax assessor's office only lowered the value of the property by $4,500 and kept us on a commerial millage rate.  They have coordinated with other county's in Iowa in regard to making Fraternities and Sororities commercial property and feel that they are on VERY solid ground after a careful review of the tax laws.  Our only recourse would be to hire a real estate tax attorney and dispute their interpretation of tax law, but this would be a futile effort and a waste of non-existent money from my research and personal opinion.  The head tax assessor Tom told me that they felt that entire section of Davenport had been under valued on a tax basis for many years and we should "quite frankly be thankful that we got away with a low tax bill for so many years up to this point."  All of the Fraternities and Sororities were reassessed for property taxes after an interior and exterior inspection in 2011.   So we are just going to have to find a way to pay the $6,500 per year tax bill and plan for the natural gradual increases over time.

Alumni Association has been making desperately needed remodeling and repairs to the Delta Delta Pi Fraternity property. The repairs that have been made are various electrical repairs to the security lightening, replaced the basement doors, new shower surround in the back upstairs bath, new electronic lock for the back door, boiler repair (this will need to be replaced in about 2 years), finished back bathroom shower, repaired things in the upstairs kitchen, replaced sink in the front upstairs bathroom, repaired back driveway and did other various room repairs.  Once again, we owe Dr. JJ Milan a debt of gratitude for all that he has done.

                                                              Student Financial Report Aug 2022  

The house currently has monthly expenses totaling $2,860.  The breakdown of the monthly expenses for the house is:

                                      House Current Monthly Expenses

                  MidAmerican Energy                                 975

                  Clean Water Act Fee                                   80

                  Iowa American Water                                190

                  Dumpbox, LLC                                           30

                  City of Davenport (Sewer)                         135

                  City of Davenport (Cons)                            75

                                       Pledging                                                     170

                  Promotion/Rush                                           80

                  Supplies                                                       50

                  Small Repairs                                               50

                  Alumni Association (taxes, insurance)          860

             Total Monthly Expenses                     $2,695

The total yearly expenses for the house are $34,320 (This includes pledging). 

                                Forward Planning

The income potential for the student organization with 35 dues paying members and all four rooms rented at all times is as follows.

35 dues paying members (35x $260x 3tri’s) =  $ 27,300/year

All 4 rooms rented @ $275/month =                $13,200/year

                        Income potential=                 $40,500/year

In order for the student organization to sustain itself without fundraiser profits they need a minimum of 32 dues paying members and three rooms rented at all times.

32 dues paying members (32 x $260 x 3tri’s) =  $24,960/year

With only 3 rooms rented @ $275/month =        $9,900/year

                        Income potential=                 $34,860/year

The house annual expenditures of $34,320 against the income potential of having 32 dues paying members and three rooms rented of $34,860 leaves only $540 to cover the unexpected.

There are 2 rooms rented at $300 per month with a 3^rd student moving in October 2023. There are currently 16 active members, and 2 rooms rented. That would bring in $12,480 in annual student dues & $7,200 in annual rental income totaling $19,680. The Delta Delta Pi Alumni Association has been carrying the taxes and insurance for the past six years.
