Iowa robocall law at a glance
The federal TCPA protects everyone in Iowa. Here’s how it works with the state’s own rules.
Two laws protect Iowa residents
A federal law covers everyone — and Iowa’s own rules can add to it.
The TCPA
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act — the nationwide law behind every claim.
- Protects everyone in Iowa, no matter the state rules.
- Bars autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts to your cell without consent.
- $500–$1,500 per call, stacking with every violation.
- You can sue personally — you don’t wait on the government.
Iowa no-call program under Iowa Code ch. 476 (administered by the Iowa Utilities Commission)
How Iowa adds to your protection.
- Calling hours: 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. (local time).
- Do Not Call: Yes, state list.
- Applies on top of the federal TCPA — sometimes with extra penalties.
How the law works in Iowa
The federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) is the main law protecting Iowa residents from illegal robocalls and unwanted telemarketing. The TCPA is a federal statute that restricts autodialed calls, prerecorded “robocall” messages, and unsolicited texts sent without your consent. When a caller breaks these rules, the law lets you recover $500 per call or text, rising to $1,500 for willful or knowing violations. Because the damages apply per call, they add up fast when the same company keeps dialing you.
Iowa also maintains its own state no-call program under Iowa Code ch. 476, administered by the Iowa Utilities Commission, with enforcement support from the Iowa Attorney General. Iowa residents can add their residential, mobile, or paging numbers to the Iowa no-call list for free, and telemarketers must check it and stop calling registered numbers. Telemarketing calls are generally limited to between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. in your local time. Because Iowa keeps its own list, you should register on both the Iowa no-call list and the National Do Not Call Registry for the fullest protection.

Iowa robocall FAQs
Can I sue for robocalls in Iowa?
Yes. Iowa residents can sue under the federal TCPA and recover $500 per illegal robocall or text, or $1,500 if the violation was willful. Save the dates, times, and phone numbers of the calls, along with any voicemails or texts, because that record helps prove your claim. A free case review is the best way to find out what your calls may be worth.
Does Iowa have its own no-call list?
Yes. Iowa runs its own state no-call program under Iowa Code ch. 476, administered by the Iowa Utilities Commission. Residents can register their residential, mobile, or paging numbers for free, and telemarketers must check the list and stop calling registered numbers. For the best coverage, register on both the Iowa no-call list and the National Do Not Call Registry.
What are Iowa’s calling hours?
Telemarketers may generally only call Iowa residents between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. in your local time. A solicitation call placed before 8 a.m. or after 9 p.m. is a sign the caller is not following the rules and can be evidence of a violation.
Do I need an Iowa lawyer for a robocall case?
Not necessarily. The TCPA is a federal law that applies in every state, so you do not need an Iowa-based attorney to bring a federal robocall claim. Attorney Max Morgan is licensed in Pennsylvania, handles TCPA cases nationwide, and works with local counsel in Iowa whenever a case requires it. The case review is free, and you owe no fee unless he recovers money for you.
