The Iowa Bill of Costs is a document used in Iowa civil court cases that itemizes the costs incurred by the plaintiff, defendant, or both parties in the litigation. The document is also known as a cost bill, costs bill, or costs statement. There are two types of Iowa Bill of Costs: a plaintiff’s bill of costs and a defendant’s bill of costs. The plaintiff’s bill of costs details the costs incurred by the plaintiff, including court costs, attorney’s fees, witness fees, mileage, and other expenses. The defendant’s bill of costs outlines the costs incurred by the defendant, such as court costs, attorney’s fees, and expert witness fees. Both documents must be filed with the court within 10 days of the final disposition of the case. The court will review the documents, and if approved, the costs will be awarded to the party who incurred them.
