Questions about official Lee County criminal records belong with the agency that created or maintains the file. The Sheriff's Office in Montrose handles its reports and local custody material, while Iowa District Court uses separate North Lee and South Lee clerk locations. Statewide criminal-history checks go to Iowa DCI. The contacts below route each record type without implying that this private resource can retrieve, correct, or certify government records.

This Is Not a Government Office. This private reference resource cannot obtain or correct a criminal record, conduct an official check, or accept an Iowa expungement filing. Contact the responsible public office directly.

The Sheriff accepts its public-record request form by mail or email and ordinarily processes requests within 10 business days. The first 30 minutes of staff time are free. Iowa has no single Lee County clerk counter, so call North or South Lee before seeking an older paper file, certified copy, or courthouse-terminal document.
