FAQ

Q.

How do I request a background check?

Complete criminal history checks are done through the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI). Forms can be obtained on the Iowa Department of Public Safety DCI website.

Q.

If I purchase property at a sheriff sale, do I get a clear title?

A clear title is not guaranteed to properties sold at a sheriff sale. All sales are considered "buyers beware".  It is recommended that you contact an attorney and research the property before bidding.
