County records
Match the record to the question. A deed, an assessed value, an unpaid property-tax balance, and a court judgment do not come from the same record. Use the contact shown on the relevant county record or notice when you need a property-specific answer.
Clinton County
For county recorder and recorded-land-document information, start with the Recorder’s official county page. The county also links its Land Records section. Deeds, property-tax balances, assessed values, and court judgments are different records; use the record or notice that matches your question.
Clinton County property records
Use the county-labeled Beacon search to look up property records. Check an assessed-value question against the official record for the parcel; a property-record search is not a current tax balance or court judgment.
Clinton County property-tax accounts
For a property-tax account or payment question, start with the Clinton County Treasurer link and check the current bill or notice for the parcel and balance. Property-tax balances are separate from Iowa real estate transfer tax.
Iowa sale rule
Iowa real estate transfer tax is 80 cents for each $500, or fraction of $500, of the price above the first $500. On a $100,000 sale, the taxable $99,500 is 199 units of $500, so the tax is $159.20. By law, the person conveying the property—normally the seller—is liable for the tax, and the Recorder will not record the deed until it is paid. A declaration of value is filed when required.
Iowa lists exemptions, including certain family, divorce, estate-distribution, and $500-or-less transfers. Ask the closing professional to confirm whether the tax applies and the taxable amount for your sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Iowa real estate transfer tax.
A mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate amounts.

Here's what sellers have said about working with us.
“After the Chrysler supplier closed, I was out of work for fourteen months and never really caught back up. The mortgage servicer filed in Winnebago County and I didn't know what to do. USA Home Buyers explained where the Illinois judicial timeline was, gave me a written offer in forty-eight hours, and we closed in twelve days before judgment. I came out with $28,000.”
“The sewer line backed up into the basement twice in two years — the city said it was a main line issue they were working on. Second time we had four inches of sewage in the basement and the HVAC system was a complete loss. USA Home Buyers came out two days after I called. Fair number, closed in fourteen days.”
“I'd worked at the Chrysler supplier in Belvidere for nineteen years when the plant shut down. Then a job offer came in from a manufacturer in Indianapolis — good opportunity, but I had four weeks to figure out the house. USA Home Buyers gave me a real number the next day. We closed in ten days. I made the Indianapolis start date with a week to spare.”

Start with the Clinton County Recorder’s Office and its official county page for recorder and land-record information. The county also links its Land Records section. A deed is different from a tax balance, an assessed value, or a court judgment.
The rate is 80 cents for each $500, or fraction of $500, of the price above the first $500. Iowa lists exemptions, so the closing professional should confirm whether the tax applies and the taxable amount for the sale.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Iowa real estate transfer tax. A mortgage balance, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate amounts.
Use the office and case or parcel details shown on the current notice or record. Property valuation, an unpaid property-tax balance, a recorded deed, and a court judgment are different tasks. A title professional can explain how a record relates to the sale of a specific property.
