Iowa Admin. Code r. 701—250.13(321) — Loans

Relief from a loan balance constitutes consideration for the purposes of the fee for new registration. Example A: A vehicle is titled in Person V’s name with a loan also in Person V’s name. Person V transfers the title to Person W, who assumes the unpaid balance of the loan. A new lien is filed. The fee for new registration is due on Person V’s outstanding loan balance. Example B: A vehicle is titled in Person X’s name with an outstanding loan balance of $10,000. Person X transfers the title to Person Y . Person Y takes out a $15,000 loan to pay off Person X’s outstanding loan of $10,000 and also to have $5,000 for repairs to Person Y’s house. The fee for new registration is due only on Person X’s outstanding loan balance of $10,000.
