How do you Dissolve an Iowa Corporation?

Answer:
According to Iowa Code 490.1403, once an Iowa Corporation’s shareholders authorize dissolution,

the corporation may be formally dissolved by drafting and filing an Articles of Dissolution with the Secretary of State’s office.

There is no official form on which the Articles of Dissolution must be drafted or filed. The document must include the name of the corporation and the date the decision to dissolve was authorized. The text must also state that shareholders duly approved the dissolution in a manner consistent with state regulations and the entity’s Articles of Incorporation.

The corporation will be considered formally dissolved as of the effective date specified on the Articles of Dissolution. Code 490.1403 may be viewed at http://www.sos.state.ia.us/usefulLinks/frameIACode.asp?c=490.1403 .
