|Changes in Well Certificate Fees and Information regarding |
|Well Disclosures |
|and Foreclosed Property |
| |
|the following is an example of the information your office may choose to use for letters you will be sending out to your customers regarding both the Well Certificate |
|fee increase and Well Disclosure requirements on foreclosed properties. Thank you to Lynn Ette Schrupp, McCleod County Recorder, Lynn Ette compiled this information |
|for MCRA member reference. |
| |
|Notice Re: Well Disclosure Certificates |
| |
|Per 2007 change to Minnesota Statute 103I.235 Sub 1 (I): |
|On July 1, 2008 the fee for a Well Disclosure Certificate will be $45.00. |
|This increase is due to an added surcharge by the State of Minnesota. For each Well Disclosure Certificate the county will forward $37.50 to the State of Minnesota and|
|the county will continue to retain $7.50. This fee will be required when any document is recorded on or after July 1, 2008 requiring a Well Disclosure Certificate. If |
|the real estate document that includes a Well Disclosure Certificate is rejected prior to July 1, 2008, corrected, and returned to us on or after July 1st it will |
|require the new fee. Please plan all closings accordingly. |
| |
|Information from MDH regarding Well Disclosures on foreclosed property: |
|The Minnesota Department of Health is receiving an increasing number of inquiries from realtors, closing agents, and property buyers asking if the well disclosure |
|requirements are waived or the property is exempt from the requirements because the property being transferred is foreclosed property. The Minnesota Association of |
|REALTORS®, local realtor associations, and county recorders are receiving similar inquiries. For more information regarding Well Disclosure Certificates on foreclosed |
|property see the attached or go to: |
