SF 300 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to replacement certificates of title for vehicles, providing fees, and including retroactive applicability provisions.

This bill changes Iowa's process for replacing lost or destroyed vehicle title certificates. It increases the application fee to $30 and sets a new amount ($18) that county treasurers may retain from each fee for the county general fund (previously $12). The bill clarifies terminology across state law and applies retroactively to replacement applications submitted on or after January 1, 2025. It directly affects vehicle owners, lienholders, and county treasurers handling title replacements.
