Iowa Department of Natural Resources
Sells hunting, fishing and fur harvester licenses online and through license agents
Licenses are the DNR's, at the DNR's prices. A county recorder may sell them as a license agent, collecting the license fee and a writing fee (Iowa Code § 331.605(1)(b)), but not every recorder does.
Whether a Polk County office sells licenses is unconfirmed
