FAQ

Q.

If I purchase at a sheriff sale, who is responsible for back property taxes?

A.

Taxes stay with the property. If you made the purchase, you are now responsible for the taxes.

Q.

How do I register for notifications with VINELink?

A.

You can register to receive updates when an inmate is transferred or released with the Iowa VINELink Statewide network.

Start by going to the inmate record. If the inmate is still in custody, follow the link provided to the VINE Notification System.
