How property deeds are recorded in Iowa

Iowa real-property records are filed with the elected County Recorder. That means when a Iowa property changes hands — through a sale, gift, inheritance, or refinance — the deed is filed with the County Recorder, where it becomes part of the public record.

The most common document types recorded under Iowa law include Warranty Deed, Quitclaim Deed, Court Officer Deed, and Mortgage. DeedNow returns the most recent recorded deed of conveyance for whichever Iowa address you search.

What's recorded with the County Recorder

The County Recorder office in each Iowa county maintains the official index of real-property documents. Each recorded Iowa deed typically includes:

Grantor and grantee: who's transferring title and who's receiving it.
Legal description: the platted lot and block, metes and bounds, or recorded subdivision reference for the parcel.
Consideration: the price or other consideration paid, where Iowa law requires it on the face of the document.
Recording stamp: the book/page or instrument number assigned by the County Recorder when the document was filed.
Notary acknowledgment: the notarized signature block that makes the deed eligible for recording in Iowa.
