You are hereby notified that Plaintiff, Cottage Reserve Corporation, has filed a Second Amended Petition to Quiet Title in the Iowa District Court for Johnson County, Iowa.
Among other matters, the Petition concerns Lots 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17, Cottage Reserve, Lake Macbride Park, Johnson County, Iowa, according to the Plat thereof in Plat Book 2, Page 83, Plat Records of Johnson County, Iowa (the "Submerged Lots").
In substance, Cottage Reserve Corporation alleges that it is the owner of the Submerged Lots and that any claim of Defendant or the Cross-Petition Defendants is without right and constitutes a cloud on Plaintiff's title. Plaintiff seeks to have title to the Submerged Lots established and quieted in its favor, to bar and estop Defendant and the Cross-Petition Defendants from asserting any right, title, or interest therein, and for such other equitable relief as the Court deems just and proper. For further particulars, see the Second Amended Petition to Quiet Title on file with the Clerk of Court.
You must serve and file a motion or answer on or before MARCH 31,2026, or judgment may be entered against you.
This case is subject to electronic filing pursuant to Iowa Court Rules Chapter 16. Filing must be made through the Iowa Judicial Branch Electronic Document Management System (EDMS) unless exempt.
If you require assistance due to disability, call (319) 398-3920.
IMPORTANT: YOU ARE ADVISED TO SEEK LEGAL ADVICE AT ONCE TO PROTECT YOUR INTERESTS.
