Polk County (Des Moines) holds an annual Iowa tax-lien certificate sale; delinquent parcels are published before the June sale.
List data last reviewed August 25, 2026
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. Figures on this page were last reviewed on August 25, 2026.
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.
For due diligence, go straight to the source. LienScope links only to official county/state government sites or the county’s officially-adopted records vendor — never third-party aggregators.
