331A.07 Affidavit of publication.

No compensation shall be recoverable for publishing legal or official matter in any newspaper not qualified, until there is filed with the county auditor the affidavit of a person having knowledge of the facts, showing the name and location of the newspaper and the existence of conditions constituting its qualifications as a qualified newspaper as set forth in section 331A.02. If the matter published relates to proceedings in another county, a like affidavit must be filed with its auditor. The affidavit, if it states the required facts, shall be prima facie evidence of them and of the qualification. No compensation shall be recoverable for publishing legal or official matter in any newspaper unless the bill is accompanied by an affidavit of the publisher of the newspaper or the publisher's designated agent, having knowledge of the facts, setting forth the fact that the newspaper has complied with all the requirements to constitute a legal newspaper. The affidavit must set forth the dates of the month and year and the day of the week upon which the legal or official matter was published in the newspaper. The affidavit must also include the publisher's lowest classified rate paid by commercial users for comparable space, as determined pursuant to section 331A.06, the maximum charge allowable by law for the publication of the specific legal or official matter in question, and the rate actually charged for that publication.
