HSB 133 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to administrative fees charged by motor vehicle dealers, and making penalties applicable.

HSB 133 changes the name of fees charged by Iowa motor vehicle dealers from "documentary fees" to "administrative fees" and removes the existing $180 maximum fee limit. The bill requires dealers to include any administrative fee in the vehicle's advertised price and disclose it clearly in purchase agreements with a specific notice. It affects motor vehicle dealers who sell vehicles and their customers, as dealers can now charge higher fees without the previous cap. The law maintains the requirement for transparent disclosure but eliminates the price ceiling for these service-related charges.
