County Recorder

Iowa deed recording offices

Iowa has 99 counties, and a deed is always recorded where the property sits. Fees run $7 for the first page and $5 per additional page. All 99 Iowa county recorders accept electronic submission through Iowa Land Records, the counties' statewide system. It is used mainly by abstractors, lenders, title companies and attorneys; if you prepared the deed yourself, record in person or by mail.

Deedly is not a law firm

Its software and documents are not a substitute for the advice of an attorney. We provide self-help software and state-specific deed forms; you make your own decisions about your property. Using Deedly does not create an attorney-client relationship, and nothing here is legal advice. If your situation is complex or contested, talk to a licensed attorney in your state.
