You are eligible to renew your tags online when you have received a renewal notice through the US Postal Service. The notice contains a PIN number for your use. Contact our office if you cannot locate your PIN.

A Bill of Sale, the vehicle title, and a title application are needed for title transfers.

Title Transfers - Bill of Sale

As of January 1, 2022, all County Treasurer offices require customers to provide a bill of sale when transferring titles. 

This requirement is to comply with the Department of Revenue, Chapter 34 of the Iowa Administrative Code.

The Bill of Sale should include:

• Year of Vehicle
• Make of Vehicle
• Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
• Seller and Buyer name
• Date of Sale
• Purchase Price
• Signature of Seller and Buyer

The bill of sale will not be required to be notarized unless there are errors or alterations on the paperwork presented or upon examination there are questions on the legality of the application.

This Bill of Sale may be used. The Treasurer's Office will accept any Bill of Sale as long as it has all the pertinent information.

Driver's license and ID services are by appointment only. Appointments can be made by calling our office during business hours at 641-484-3141 (opt.1).

REAL ID ACT (Gold Star)

Real ID is a federal act that established minimum standards for state issued driver’s license and identification cards. It focuses on anti-terrorism, fraud protection, and security by requiring states to meet the standards. 

Beginning May 7, 2025 when you enter a federal building or fly commercially you’ll need a state issued REAL ID license/identification card or another acceptable identity document. Otherwise, you’ll be subject to additional screening and potential delay.
