Please bring the required letter of guarantee (see example below) along with a check from the same institute the letter of guarantee is from, or cash.

Sample Letter of Guarantee

As Sheriff’s Sales are buyer beware, it is highly recommended that you contact an attorney before purchasing at a Sheriff’s Sale as you may not be purchasing what you think you are. The Poweshiek County Sheriff’s Office cannot give legal advice. 

For more information, please contact Cecily Carpenter, the Civil Division Office Deputy, at 641-623-5679.
