How do I transfer the ownership of a vehicle?

Asked 6 months ago
To transfer ownership of a vehicle in Iowa, the current owner must sign the title and provide it to the new owner. Both parties must complete a bill of sale, including the vehicle's identification number, sale price, and signatures. The new owner will need to visit a county treasurer's office with the signed title, bill of sale, and payment for the transfer fees and applicable taxes. They will then receive a new title with their name listed as the owner of the vehicle. Remember to remove license plates from the vehicle and cancel insurance to avoid any confusion about who is responsible for the vehicle.
