Iowa R. Civ. P. 1.257
Sheriff or officer; creditor
When a sheriff or other officer is sued for taking personal
property under a writ, or for the property so taken, such writ may be filed with the court, with an
attached affidavit from the sheriff or other officer that the property involved was taken under the writ.
The plaintiff shall then join the attaching or execution creditor as a defendant, or such creditor may
join on application. Any judgment against the officer and creditor shall provide that the creditor’s
property be first exhausted to satisfy the judgment.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
