Back to topTime of Transfer Database
The Iowa DNR has launched its new online Time of Transfer (ToT) Database for the submittal and search of ToT inspection reports.
The ToT Database is located at: https://programs.iowadnr.gov/timeoftransfer
The new ToT Database allows certified ToT inspectors to login in and enter inspection reports online. All ToT inspection reports will be automatically transmitted to the DNR and the county where the property is located, and will be available to the public online upon submittal.
For more information on the ToT Database, please see the ToT Inspection Program webpage.
