Iowa Condominium Assessment Lien Calculator — Subordinate to First Mortgage, No UCIOA Super-Priority (Iowa Code § 499B.15)

Compute the total Iowa condominium assessment lien, the priority status, and the projected recovery outlook under the Iowa Horizontal Property Act (Iowa Code Chapter 499B). Models Iowa Code § 499B.15 (statutory association lien attaches automatically; recording preserves priority under Iowa Code Chapter 558), the absence of any UCIOA-style super-priority (Iowa has not adopted UCIOA), the subordinate position behind a recorded first mortgage, and the Iowa Code § 614.1(5) 10-year limitations period for written-contract claims grounded in the recorded declaration. Returns the gross lien, net lien, priority status, limitations-exposure flag, and a heuristic recovery band.

Iowa Horizontal Property Act

Iowa HOA Foreclosure Timeline Calculator — Judicial-Only, 10-14 Month Timeline, 6-Month or 1-Year Post-Sale Redemption (Iowa Code Chapter 654 / § 654.5)

Project the procedural timeline of an Iowa HOA assessment-lien foreclosure under Iowa Code § 499B.15 (Horizontal Property Act) and the Iowa judicial foreclosure framework at Iowa Code Chapter 654. Iowa is a JUDICIAL-ONLY foreclosure state; there is no power-of-sale pathway. Models Iowa Rule of Civil Procedure 1.303 (20-day answer period), Iowa Code § 654.20 (nonresident notice procedures), the typical 10-14 month judicial timeline under shortened six-month redemption (16-20 months under default one-year redemption), the Iowa Code § 654.5 post-sale redemption period (6 months for owner-occupied homestead / smaller agricultural; 1 year for non-homestead / larger agricultural), and the post-redemption sheriff's deed. Returns days-delinquent, procedural posture, answer deadline, projected decree date, projected sale date, redemption-period end date, and next-action recommendation.

Iowa has NOT adopted UCIOA; the voting framework defers heavily to the recorded declaration and bylaws. Models Iowa Code § 499B.11 (bylaws-driven quorum; Iowa market default 51% where bylaws are silent — no UCIOA-style 20% statutory floor); Iowa Code § 499B.14 (declaration amendment 75% of unit owners default — higher than UCIOA 67%); termination 80% default under § 499B amendment procedures; bylaws-driven board removal and budget ratification. Returns effective quorum, votes required, quorum-met flag, and current outcome (passed, failed, pending, or no-quorum).
