The Transfer Period Act (SF261) was passed by the Iowa legislature in April 2008 and came into force on July 1, 2009. The new law requires that each house/building served by a septic system inspect this septic system prior to the sale or transfer of the dwelling/building. The aim of the legislation is to eliminate systems of clarification of inferior quality or harmful to the environment.
Information on the transfer time can be found on the Iowa Department of Natural Resources website (click here).

In accordance with Governor Reynold`s public health proclamation of March 17, 2020, the ministry is working to provide some regulatory facilities and mitigate the economic consequences of business closures and social standards necessary to protect public health. To this end, the department has released this protocol to compensate for the need to protect and preserve Iowa`s natural resources from the need to protect people from infection. As a direct result of this action, the current Certified Time of Transfer Inspectors, which do not meet the continuing education credit requirements until March 31, will be allowed to renew their inspector`s licence. All training credits acquired after April 1, 2020 will meet training credit requirements for the next certification period 2020-2022. Your confirmation renewal information will be forwarded to the address we have currently provided to you in our data system.
