A total of seven federal offices in Iowa are on the chopping block as a part of President Donald Trump’s ambitious mission to reduce government spending.

Earlier this month, the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency revealed nearly 800 federal leases totaling more than 10 million square feet have been terminated so far, claiming $500 million in lease savings.

The agencies that top the list of leases cut include the Internal Revenue Service with 61 spaces, 47 with the Social Security Administration, 44 with the Fish and Wildlife Service and 37 for the Geological Survey.

What office spaces in Iowa are on DOGE’s list of terminated leases?

Here are all the federal office leases targeted for termination in Iowa as well as their respective savings and annual lease cost, according to DOGE’s “Wall of Receipts” website.

1. Federal Highway Administration office in Ames ($216,276 annual lease, $847,080 in total savings)
2. Internal Revenue Service office in Cedar Rapids ($149,715 annual lease, $174,668 in total savings)
3. Office of U.S. Attorneys in Sioux City ($217,139 annual lease, $126,664 in total savings)
4. Food and Drug Administration office in Davenport ($12,312 annual lease, $36,936 in total savings)
5. U.S. Department of Labor office in Davenport ($6,435 annual lease, $20,376 in total savings)
6. Internal Revenue Service office in Sioux City ($104,186 annual lease, $17,364 in total savings)
7. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service office in Indianola ($32,003 annual lease, $0 in total savings)

The building with the most square footage is the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Sioux City, with approximately 14,366 square feet, according to DOGE.

DOGE’s Wall of Receipts previous posts contained errors, misleading information on federal savings

The federal contracts cut that DOGE has posted online over the past two months have been subject to scrutiny due to accounting errors and claiming credit for canceling contracts that ended almost two decades ago.

A Wall of Receipts post last month on DOGE’s website listed the largest canceled federal contract was $8 billion for the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. However, the most recent version of that contract showed it to be for $8 million, not $8 billion.

Musk has said DOGE will be “maximally transparent” with its work and acknowledged the group will make mistakes.

“Nobody’s going to bat 1,000,” Musk said last month alongside Trump in the Oval Office. “We will make mistakes, but we’ll act quickly to correct any mistakes.”

The New York Times and other publications have reported findings bringing this transparency into question, such as DOGE getting rid of the details on how it saved taxpayers billions by terminating more than 3,000 federal grants when it included these details in previous posts.

A White House official told the Times that removing the details was done for security purposes.
