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

This bill (SF 447) changes Iowa's process for replacing lost or destroyed vehicle title certificates. It increases the fee for a replacement title from $20 to $30, with county treasurers authorized to retain $18 of that fee (up from $12) for the county general fund. The bill harmonizes inconsistent legal references to "replacement certificate of title" and applies retroactively to applications submitted on or after January 1, 2025. It directly affects vehicle owners, lienholders, and county treasurers processing title replacements.
