Selling a junk car in Iowa: title & DMV rules
Iowa requires a title in your name to transfer a junk vehicle, including a scrap sale from a New Hampton driveway.
- If the title is missing
- Iowa uses a bonded (surety) title when the chain of ownership is broken: you post a surety bond — typically 1.5× the vehicle's appraised value — and the Iowa DOT Motor Vehicle Division issues a title you can sign over. The duplicate-title paperwork in Iowa is Form 411033 (Application for Replacement Title) / Junking Certificate.
- License plates
- Remove the plates — Iowa plates stay with the owner.
- Notice of sale / release of liability
- File the seller's notice of sale with your county treasurer within 30 days of the sale.
- What Iowa salvage buyers must do
- Iowa titling runs through county treasurers. Replacement titles use Form 411033; a Junking Certificate permanently retires the vehicle and is the normal document when a car goes straight to a recycler. Iowa also has a bonded-title path for broken ownership chains.
- Sign the seller assignment on the title
- Complete the odometer disclosure
- Handle plates as IA requires
- File the notice of sale, then cancel insurance
