Safe Medication Disposal
Do not flush your old medications down the toilet or throw them out! We will take all prescription and over the counter medications and dispose of them properly. They do not have to be in the original container but we will get rid of those also.
Salvage Title Inspections
Iowa law requires that all vehicles with a Salvage title be physically examined by a law enforcement officer that has been certified to conduct such examinations.
After you obtain the appropriate salvage title you will need, per Iowa law, your receipts gathered and the vehicle is repaired to fix all defects (except body markings, trim, paint, and airbag replacement per Iowa Code and Administrative rule) and then you will need to go to the following link to complete the necessary information and to make payment;

Call our department for an appointment after completing your online form. 641-732-3777.
A common concern we have from individuals is the fair market value that is put in the system and the fees you may have to pay at registration and how they may seem out of proportion. If you would like to dispute the fair market vehicle value and subsequent amount of fee for new registration you paid, you may file a claim for refund with the Iowa Department of Revenue, citing the reasons for your disputed claim of vehicle value using the IA 843 Refund Return (Sales, Use, Excise & local Option Tax) 22-0009.
