The state of Iowa has a tiered level of criminal offenses. The same is true of most other state's criminal code. In Iowa, criminal penalties are classified into felony offenses and misdemeanor offenses. Felony offenses are more serious, therefore the penalties are more severe. Misdemeanor offenses are usually far less serious, and their penalties are lighter. Both Felony and Misdemeanor penalties are classified, with a corresponding letter. Class A Felony offenses are the most severe; punishments decrease with subsequent classes. While certain criminal charges carry other mandatory minimum or maximum punishments, generally speaking the offense classifications and corresponding sentencing ranges are listed below for felonies, and misdemeanors are listed on Misdemeanor Penalties.
