How much is a seatbelt ticket in Iowa?

I got pulled over for driving without a seatbelt, but then I lost the ticket. I just need to go over to the courthouse and pay the fine. But how much is a seatbelt ticket fine in Iowa?

A seatbelt ticket in Iowa can cost you up to $25 in fines, and it’s a traffic misdemeanor, which means it might also cost you on your car insurance.
Although a seatbelt ticket won’t cause points to be assessed on your driving record in Iowa, the misdemeanor status of the offense could signal your insurance company that you’re a risky driver. Your best path forward is to pay the fine and wear your seatbelt from now on!
And if you find out that your car insurance costs do increase because of your ticket, you should start comparison shopping to see if you can find a better price. It’s easy to do with the
