Recorder
The County Recorder is required to follow the Code of Iowa when recording documents. We work with the Iowa Department of Revenue collecting Iowa Real Estate Transfer Tax and Sales/Use Tax; the Iowa Department of Public Health collecting fees for processing marriage applications, and issuing certified copies for birth, death & marriage records; the Iowa Department of Natural Resources collecting fees for issuing hunting & fishing licenses; boat, snowmobile and ATV/ORV registrations and titles and the US Department of State processing and collecting fees for passport applications. January, 2007 the Iowa County Recorders/Registrars Association launched the Iowa Land Records website and began filing documents electronically.
