A letter stating "County Deed Records" from Home Warranty is circulating in several Iowa Counties and causing a lot of confusion. Please note: The Washington County Recorder's Office nor any other government entity is not affiliated with "County Deed Records" in any manner.

The letter claims to be from "County Deed Records" with inaccurate information about the recipient's home warranty expiration date. The letter also contains a "renewal fee voucher" for $199, which resembles a check and requests immediate action to call or be left vulnerable to repair costs. The Iowa County Recorders Association in partnership with Iowa Land Records confirm that this information is not legitimate. Similar letters have been found across the country.

If you have questions, please call the Washington County Recorder at 319-653-7727.
