No free alert in Iowa has been verified into this directory yet. We add a county only after checking the recording office's own published source — so for now, this page gives you the next best thing: who keeps Iowa's land records, the exact question to ask them, and the self-check routine that protects you either way.

Iowa's recorders cooperate through Iowa Land Records, a statewide records portal — but a shared search portal is not the same as an alert service, and no Iowa recording alert has been verified into this directory yet. Ask your County Recorder whether notification is offered, and use the deed self-check routine meanwhile.
None yet — and we would rather show an empty table than an invented one. New Iowa programs are added the moment an official source verifies them.
The County Recorder in each county. That office — not a title company and not any website — is the only authority on its own records and its own alert program.
Yes. Every service in the table above is a government program offered at no charge by the recording office or its chosen platform. If a page ever asks you to pay to enroll in a county alert, you are on the wrong page — come back to the official link here.
No. DeedWatch is a directory and a guide. You enroll with the Iowa office or its platform directly, and that program — not us — sends the alerts. We never see your recordings.
Use the deed self-check routine: pull your own record on a set schedule, keep your tax mailing address current, and know the first steps if a filing ever surprises you. The Setup Kit writes the whole routine out, county by county.
The Setup Kit covers what a directory listing can't: enrolling every version of your name, every property in every county, the deed self-check, and the first-72-hours playbook. One $39 payment — the Iowa alert itself stays free.
