Iowa State Prevailing Wage Law

State law: None currently in effect

Iowa does not have a state prevailing wage law. State-funded construction in Iowa is not subject to a state prevailing-wage requirement; only federal Davis-Bacon applies to federally funded projects.

Verify before relying on this: state prevailing-wage laws change. The summary above is a general reference compiled from publicly available state-law materials and is not legal advice. Confirm the current status with the cited state agency or a qualified attorney before bidding or paying workers under it.

Federal contracts ≥ $2,000 in Iowa must comply with the Davis-Bacon Act. Full compliance guide →
