All existing gravel roads in and around The Harvester Community
are scheduled to be regraded and paved within the next few years.
All new roads within the community will be paved according to
county standards, and will be owned and maintained by the county.
Residents of The Harvester Community will be serviced by the following
utilities: a centralized water system (Central Iowa Water Association),
a centralized sewer system (Central Iowa Water Association), natural
gas (Consumers Energy), underground electricity (Consumers Energy),
telephone/high-speed internet access (Iowa Telecom) and digital
cable television (Mid-Iowa Communications). Rates and fees will
be assessed by each utility provider directly to each homeowner,
including initial hook-up fees and equipment.
The Harvester Community is divided by three school districts:
Baxter (K-12 enrollment: 385), Collins-Maxwell (K-12 enrollment:
525), West Marshall (K-12 enrollment: 850).
Property taxes for residential property may be approximated using
the following equation:
(Assessed value of land and buildings) x 0.55 x
0.0224976 = Total Annual Property Taxes
For example, an owner with a total assessed value of $300,000
will pay approximately $3,712.10 in property taxes per year, or
$309.34 per month.
This equation should be used to approximate property taxes since
school districts and legislation changes may cause slight variations
in the equation.
Year-round fire and safety protection is provided from Baxter/Newton
as well as the Rhodes/Marshalltown Emergency Management System.
Everyday health-related needs can be met by physicians located
in Baxter, Maxwell or Marshalltown. Major medical attention can
be attained by a wide range of hospitals and clinics in the Des
Moines metropolitan area, such as Mercy Hospital, Blank Children's
Hospital, Iowa Methodist and Iowa Lutheran Hospital, or in Ames
at the McFarland Clinic and Mary Greeley Medical Center. There
is a possibility of establishing an on-site clinic at the village
center, which will provide standard care two to three days a week,
depending on need.
Specific restrictions and guidelines for residents of The Harvester
Community can be found in the restrictive covenants. Regulations
concerning house size, setbacks, architectural style and several
other items will be administered and enforced by a designated
