LETTER FROM “COUNTY DEED RECORDS”

A letter stating “County Deed Records” from Home Warranty is circulating in Jones County and causing a lot of confusion. Please note: The Jones County Recorder’s Office is not affiliated with “County Deed Records” in any manner, nor is any other government entity.

The letter claimed to be from “County Deed Records” with inaccurate information about the recipient’s home warranty expiration date. The letter also contained 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 Jones County Recorder at 319-462-2477.
