Delinquent invoices turned over to MCA may also be provided to the State of Iowa’s Setoff Program, which diverts state payments, such as tax refunds, from individuals who owe money to the state or other state agencies such as a city or county.

In addition, as prescribed by City Code, a percentage-based surcharge may be added to the outstanding invoice total in order to recover costs associated with collection.

If you have questions or concerns about your experience with MCA, please email the City of West Des Moines at collections@wdm.iowa.gov and we will research the call and conduct a client experience assessment. Please include in your email a brief description of your issue as well as your name, phone number, the phone number used to contact MCA (if different), citation number, and the date you talked with MCA.
