HF 562 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the repair or reconstruction of damaged or destroyed structures.

HF 562 allows property owners to repair or rebuild structures damaged or destroyed by accidents, weather events, or similar incidents to their exact pre-damage condition. It directly affects owners of residential or commercial properties that have suffered such damage. The key provision sets a 10-year window from the incident date for owners to begin repairs, overriding any conflicting laws. This change simplifies the process for rebuilding without requiring new permits or modifications beyond the original structure.
