This bill amends Section 468.27 of the Iowa Code regarding drainage districts and levees, specifically focusing on the management of district parcel records. It mandates that when the county auditor receives the necessary survey and report, they must prepare a district parcel record that identifies all parcels within the drainage district. The updated language allows the county auditor to either file this record with the county recorder or make it available on a public internet site. Additionally, the record must include essential details such as the legal description, parcel identification number, and the names of the owners for each forty-acre tract or fraction thereof.

Furthermore, the bill stipulates that the county auditor must provide any amendments to the district parcel record to the county recorder in a timely manner and prohibits counties from charging drainage districts any filing fees or related costs for these records. This change aims to enhance transparency and accessibility of information regarding drainage districts and their associated parcels, ensuring that stakeholders can easily access relevant data.
