How we source this data

Pricing basis: listing counts reflect parcels we have verified from the official Polk County tax lien certificate list; amounts shown in the app come from that source list, and we show “Varies” wherever the county does not publish a single precise figure. Interest/penalty and redemption terms reflect Iowa statute, not a LienScope estimate.

Coverage disclaimer: LienScope lists only counties we have verified parcel by parcel — we never advertise availability we have not confirmed. Figures are refreshed from the official county source ahead of each sale and can change; the exact auction date is set by the county. This page is informational only and is not legal, tax, or investment advice — confirm all details with Polk County before bidding.
