9/13/2019: Hardin County is temporarily out of stock of the "blackout" plates for large 2 plate vehicles. We are hoping to get restocked next week but please call the Treasurer's Office at 641-939-8226 before driving to the Courthouse to pick up blackout plates.
The Iowa DOT notes in a recent press release that the blackout plates "have been extremely popular.Due to the high demand for the blackout design, the Iowa DOT has been working with suppliers to maintain needed production materials but have been running out of specialty plate materials as quickly as they are purchased."
