How government auctions work in Iowa

Tax lien state

Iowa county treasurers hold an annual tax sale on the third Monday of June, selling tax sale certificates on delinquent parcels. Bidders compete by offering to buy the smallest undivided share.

Redemption period
Owners commonly have about one year and nine months before the certificate holder can serve a 90-day notice of expiration; redemption ends when that notice period lapses.
Interest or penalty
The certificate earns 2% per month on the amount paid, which is the commonly cited Iowa rate.

Who sells in Iowa

  • County treasurer annual tax sales in June
  • County sheriff judicial foreclosure sales (for example Des Moines County)
  • Iowa Department of Administrative Services state surplus
  • Federal sellers such as GSA Auctions and USDA

How it works for a first-time buyer

Register with the county treasurer before the June sale, which many counties now run online; the price is fixed at the taxes owed and ties are broken by bidding down the percentage of the parcel you would take. After the waiting period you serve a 90-day notice, and if the owner does not redeem you can apply for a treasurer's deed. Sheriff sales are separate in-person auctions with the judgment amount as the opening bid. Verify whether a parcel is a mobile home or a buildable lot, since both appear on the list.

Iowa auction FAQ

Is Iowa a tax lien or tax deed state?

Iowa is a tax lien state. Counties sell tax sale certificates that earn interest, and the buyer obtains a treasurer's deed only after notice and expiration of redemption.

How long is the redemption period in Iowa?

About one year and nine months before the holder can start the 90-day notice, so roughly two years in practice. Check the treasurer's rules for the exact schedule.

Where does Iowa sell surplus state vehicles?

The Department of Administrative Services runs the state surplus program, which sells retired fleet vehicles and equipment through periodic public auctions and online listings.
