A person shall not be appointed as a receiver unless the person has first provided the court with a viable financial and construction plan for the rehabilitation of the property in question and has demonstrated the capacity and expertise to perform the required work in a satisfactory manner. The appointed receiver may be a financial institution that possesses an interest of record in the property, a nonprofit corporation that is duly organized and exists for the primary purpose of improving housing conditions in the county or city in which the property in question is located, or any person deemed qualified by the court. No part of the net earnings of a nonprofit corporation serving as a receiver under this section shall benefit a private shareholder or individual. Membership on the board of trustees of a nonprofit corporation does not constitute the holding of a public office or employment and is not an interest, either direct or indirect, in a contract or expenditure of money by a city or county. A member of a board of trustees of a nonprofit corporation appointed as receiver is not disqualified from holding public office or employment and is also not required to forfeit public office or employment by reason of the membership on the board of trustees. 85 Acts, ch 222, §4; 96 Acts, ch 1204, §29; 2019 Acts, ch 105, §8; 2020 Acts, ch 1063, §369 ## Nearby sections - [Iowa Code § 657A.1 Definitions.](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_IA_TXV_C657A_S657A.1.md) - [Iowa Code § 657A.1A Preliminary inspection of building.](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_IA_TXV_C657A_S657A.1A.md) - [Iowa Code § 657A.2 Petition.](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_IA_TXV_C657A_S657A.2.md) - [Iowa Code § 657A.3 Interested persons opportunity to abate public nuisance.](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_IA_TXV_C657A_S657A.3.md) - [Iowa Code § 657A.4 Appointment of receiver.](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_IA_TXV_C657A_S657A.4.md) - [Iowa Code § 657A.5 Determination of costs of abatement.](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_IA_TXV_C657A_S657A.5.md) - [Iowa Code § 657A.6 Powers and duties of receiver.](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_IA_TXV_C657A_S657A.6.md) - [Iowa Code § 657A.6A Receiver prohibited acts.](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_IA_TXV_C657A_S657A.6A.md) - [Iowa Code § 657A.7 Priority of receiver’s mortgage.](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_IA_TXV_C657A_S657A.7.md) - [Iowa Code § 657A.8 Assessment of costs.](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_IA_TXV_C657A_S657A.8.md) - [Iowa Code § 657A.9 Discharge of receiver.](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_IA_TXV_C657A_S657A.9.md) - [Iowa Code § 657A.10 Compensation and liability of receiver.](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_IA_TXV_C657A_S657A.10.md) - [Iowa Code § 657A.10A Applicability.](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_IA_TXV_C657A_S657A.10A.md) - [Iowa Code § 657A.10B Petition by city or county for title to abandoned property.](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_IA_TXV_C657A_S657A.10B.md) --- Source: Frix Law Library, https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/STATE_IA_TXV_C657A_S657A.4.
