Not a Consumer Reporting Agency. This website is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Nothing on this site, and nothing returned by any third-party tool linked from it, may be used to make decisions about credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or any other purpose the FCRA covers.
How Current Is the Information
Custodians correct records, revise fees, replace portals, and add newly digitized years. We make reasonable efforts to reflect those changes, but cannot guarantee that every West Des Moines detail is complete or current. Check the original office or collection before acting on any result.
No Legal Advice
Information about Iowa Code chapter 22, section 144.43, privacy limits, and record procedures is educational only. It is not legal advice and cannot replace guidance from a qualified attorney.
Lawful Use Only
Public rolls exist for transparency, not for harm. Do not use anything found through this site to stalk, harass, intimidate, or hurt any person. Misusing personal information can violate Iowa criminal law and federal law, and it violates our Terms of Use.
Outside Search Providers
Search boxes on some pages are supplied by outside companies. Their results, fees, availability, and treatment of submitted information are beyond our control. Those results are not FCRA-compliant consumer reports.
Links Beyond This Website
Links may lead to four county assessor systems, recorder offices, Iowa agencies, court indexes, libraries, archives, or other resources. Each destination controls its own content, access, accuracy, and uptime.
Government Records Are Not Hosted Here
We do not store an assessment roll, deed index, voter file, court document, directory scan, or vital certificate. The office or library holding the source must provide, authenticate, or correct it.
