This alphabetic list of townships in Iowa and their counties is based on the U.S. Census for 2000.
Townships in the U.S. state of Iowa are distinct geographical areas.
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.
