Property Sales Questionnaire

Iowa assessors must use all county sales in the appraisal of similar properties unless there is a reason why a sale should be excluded. Accurate sale files help us assess county property fairly. Please fill out our online form to help us determine if there are any reasons why your sale should not be used to appraise comparable homes.
