1 7 REASONS FOR REFUSAL.
1 8 1. Application for renewal of a vehicle
1 9 registration shall be made on or after the first day
1 10 of the month prior to the month of expiration of
1 11 registration and up to and including the last day of
1 12 the month following the month of expiration of
1 13 registration. The registration shall be renewed upon
1 14 payment of the appropriate registration fee.
1 15 Application for renewal for a vehicle registered under
1 16 chapter 326 shall be made on or after the first day of

1 21 month of a vehicle's registration year, the department
1 22 shall create an electronic file and the county
1 23 treasurer shall send a statement of fees due to the
1 24 appropriate owner of record. After the department has
1 25 generated the electronic file used to produce
1 26 statements for a registration month, and before the
1 27 fifteenth day of the month following expiration of a
1 28 vehicle's registration year, the department shall
1 29 create a subsequent electronic file and the county
1 30 treasurer shall send a statement of fees due to the
1 31 appropriate owner of record for any vehicle
1 32 subsequently registered for that registration month.
1 33 The statement shall be mailed or electronically
1 34 transmitted to the most current address of record,
1 35 showing information sufficient to identify the vehicle
1 36 and a listing of the various fees as appropriate.
1 37 Failure to receive a statement shall have no effect
1 38 upon the accrual of penalty at the appropriate date.
1 39 3. Registration receipts issued for renewals shall
1 40 have the word "renewal" imprinted thereon and, if the
1 41 owner making a renewal application has been issued a
1 42 certificate of title, the title number shall appear on
1 43 the registration receipt. All registration receipts
1 44 for renewals shall be typewritten or printed by other
1 45 mechanical means. The applicant shall receive a
1 46 registration receipt.
1 47 4. The county treasurer shall refuse to renew the
1 48 registration of a vehicle registered to a person when
1 49 notified by the department through the distributed
1 50 teleprocessing network that the person has not paid
2 1 restitution as defined under section 910.1, subsection
2 2 4, to a clerk of the court located within the state.
2 3 Each clerk of court shall, on a daily basis, notify
2 4 the department through the Iowa court information
2 5 system of the full name and social security number of
2 6 all persons who owe delinquent restitution and whose
2 7 restitution obligation has been satisfied or canceled.
2 8 This paragraph subsection does not apply to the
2 9 transfer of a registration or the issuance of a new
2 10 registration.
2 11 5. The county treasurer shall refuse to renew the
2 12 registration of a vehicle registered to the applicant
2 13 for renewal of registration if the applicant has
2 14 failed to pay any local vehicle taxes due in that
2 15 county on that vehicle or any other vehicle owned or
2 16 previously owned by the applicant until such local
2 17 vehicle taxes are paid.
2 18 6. The county treasurer shall refuse to renew the
2 19 registration of a vehicle registered to the applicant
2 20 if the county treasurer knows that the applicant has a
2 21 delinquent account, charge, fee, loan, taxes, or other
2 22 indebtedness owed to or being collected by the state,
2 23 from information provided pursuant to sections 8A.504
2 24 and 421.17. An applicant may contest this action by
2 25 requesting a contested case proceeding from the agency
2 26 that referred the debt for collection pursuant to
2 27 section 8A.504.
2 28 7. The county treasurer may refuse to renew the
2 29 registration of a vehicle registered to the applicant
2 30 if the county treasurer knows, from information
2 31 provided through the county system, that the person
2 32 owns a mobile home or manufactured home with
2 33 delinquent tax owed to a county pursuant to chapter
2 34 435.
2 35 If the county treasurer refuses to renew the
2 36 applicant's registration, the county treasurer of the
2 37 county where renewal of registration is applied for
2 38 shall collect the delinquent tax for the county where
2 39 the mobile home or manufactured home is located. Upon
2 40 payment of the required amount for the delinquent tax
2 41 including applicable fees and penalties, an
2 42 administrative fee as provided in section 331.557,
2 43 subsection 3A, and the registration fee, the county
2 44 treasurer shall issue the registration to the person.
2 45 The county treasurer shall cancel the registration
2 46 restriction for the person for each mobile or
2 47 manufactured home parcel sold at tax sale pursuant to
2 48 chapter 446, except for those mobile or manufactured
2 49 home parcels sold at tax sale pursuant to section
2 50 446.18. The county treasurer shall cancel the
3 1 registration restriction for the person for each tax
3 2 sale certificate of title issued pursuant to section

3 4 taxes are paid shall update vehicle records to remove
3 5 registration restrictions that have been satisfied or
3 6 canceled by the county treasurer.
3 7 8. In addition to all other remedies and
3 8 proceedings provided by law for the collection of
3 9 taxes, the county treasurer may refuse to renew the
3 10 registration of a vehicle registered to the applicant
3 11 if the county treasurer knows, from information
3 12 provided through the county system, that the person is
3 13 the owner of record of a building or improvement with
3 14 delinquent tax owed to a county and the owner of the
3 15 building or improvement is a person other than the
3 16 owner of the land on which the building or improvement
3 17 is located.
3 18 If the county treasurer refuses to renew the
3 19 applicant's registration, the county treasurer of the
3 20 county where renewal of registration is applied for
3 21 shall collect the delinquent tax for the county where
3 22 the building or improvement is located. Upon payment
3 23 of the required amount for the delinquent tax
3 24 including applicable fees and penalties, an
3 25 administrative fee as provided in section 331.557,
3 26 subsection 3A, and the registration fee, the county
3 27 treasurer shall issue the registration to the person.
3 28 The county treasurer to whom the delinquent taxes are
3 29 paid shall update vehicle records to remove
3 30 registration restrictions that have been satisfied or
3 31 canceled by the county treasurer.
3 32 9. When application is made for the renewal of a
3 33 motor vehicle registration on or after December 1,
3 34 1982, the person in whose name the registration is
3 35 recorded shall notify the county treasurer of the type
3 36 of fuel used by the vehicle if the type of fuel used
3 37 is different from that which is shown on the
3 38 registration receipt. If a motor vehicle registration
3 39 indicates that the vehicle uses or may use a special
3 40 fuel as defined in chapter 452A the county treasurer
3 41 shall issue a special fuel user identification
3 42 sticker. The person who owns or controls the vehicle
3 43 shall affix the sticker in a prominent place on the
3 44 vehicle adjacent to the place where the special fuel
