HSB 295 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to the release of liens on snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, and water vessels.

This bill simplifies the process for removing liens from snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), and water vessels in Iowa. It allows lienholders to submit proof of lien release to *any* county recorder (not just the one where the title was issued), requiring the recorder to update the title certificate and enter the release into the statewide computer system. Currently, lienholders must mail documentation directly to the issuing county recorder or send a notarized letter. The change applies to the same vehicles covered under existing motor vehicle lien release procedures. This affects owners who have paid off loans securing these recreational vehicles.
