Local records and offices
Davenport and Scott County offices keep different records. The City Assessor handles Davenport assessments; Scott County says its Assessor serves the county except the City. The offices share an administrative center, so use the property jurisdiction rather than the building address. Have the property address, parcel information, notice, or case number ready when you call.

Use the City Assessor for assessed value, assessment records, and valuation questions about a Davenport property. Assessment is different from collecting unpaid taxes or recording a deed.

Iowa selling rule
Iowa charges 80 cents for each $500, or fraction of $500, of the sale price above the first $500. For example, a $100,000 sale has $99,500 above that first $500: 199 taxable units, or $159.20. The person conveying the property—normally the seller—is liable under the statute, and the County Recorder cannot record the deed until the tax is paid. A declaration of value is filed when required, and Iowa lists exemptions.
Ask the closing professional to confirm the taxable amount, any exemption, and whether a declaration of value is required for your transfer. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Iowa real estate transfer tax. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
