1. Why can’t I register my vehicle?

If you owe past due fines to the state of Iowa, there will be a hold on your vehicle registration.

2. How can I register my vehicle if I owe on past due fines?

The Finance and Collections Office can enroll you in a payment plan to begin payment of past due fine. Once payment has been made, this office will issue a lift to the County in which you are registering your vehicle.

Payments must be current in order to have the lift filed.

This office issues registration lifts for Hardin County only.

3. Do I have to have a lift issued every year?

Yes, as long as there are fines due. Once fines are paid in full, the hold should be lifted by the state.
