‼️Scam Alert‼️️Fake vehicle registration vouchers are appearing in some Iowa mailboxes luring recipients into revealing personal/financial information. They are not valid and not sent from the Iowa DOT. We don't even use these types of vouchers in our system.

If you receive this voucher:
* Please report it to the Federal Trade Commission and discard the mail: https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/assistant
* If unsure of validity, review with your County Treasurer’s Office or email a photo to [email protected]

BEWARE

‼ A TEXTING SCAM is firing up again! Remember – the Iowa DOT does not send out fee collection reminders via text, and will never text customers asking for private or financial information. If you receive a message:

* DO NOT click on any links or provide personal or credit card information.
* Report and delete unwanted text messages. Use your phone’s “report junk” option to report unwanted texts to your messaging app or forward them to 7726 (SPAM).

PSA: Our property tax statement printer made an error by including a return window envelope in some of our tax statements that were sent out. There is not supposed to be a return envelope included with the tax statements. This window envelope does not line up with a return address on the statement and cannot be used. If you received a return envelope with your statement, you can recycle or repurpose it.
*Please also note that you have the entire month of September to pay your property taxes without penalty. Penalty will start on October 1, 2025.

We are getting lots of calls questioning mass texts that have gone out again this morning that look like they're from the "Iowa DMV" requesting toll money and traffic tickets. These are scams.
