HF 892 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the size requirement of a farm unit for purposes of receiving special turkey and deer hunting licenses.

This bill changes Iowa's requirement for farm units to qualify for special turkey and deer hunting licenses. Currently, landowners with two or more contiguous acres can receive these licenses. Starting January 11, 2027, parcels purchased after that date must consist of 20 or more contiguous acres to qualify. It directly affects new farm buyers seeking these hunting permits, as the size threshold increases for future purchases.
