A few things are non-negotiable when you sell in Iowa. Tanner walks you through each one for your specific property.
| Requirement | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Written disclosure statement | Required under Iowa Code § 558A, using a standard 4-6 page form with about 19 questions on the property's condition. |
| Environmental hazards section | Iowa's form specifically asks about known radon gas and asbestos presence — a yes answer typically requires a brief explanation. |
| Lead paint disclosure | Required for homes built before 1978, per federal law — Iowa sellers must also provide the EPA's lead hazard pamphlet. |
| Iowa Title Guaranty | A state-run title insurance program unique to Iowa, typically cheaper than private title insurance — ask your closing agent whether it applies to your sale. |
| Transfer tax | Approximately $1.60 per $1,000 of sale price statewide, customarily paid by the seller. |
Rates and requirements vary by municipality and county and can change. Verify current figures and requirements for your specific property with a Iowa real estate attorney before listing.
