HF 77 Minnesota House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Disclosure of subsurface drain tile required.

HF 77 requires sellers to disclose the location and status of underground drainage systems (drain tile) when selling agricultural land classified as tax class 2a or 2b. Before closing a property sale, sellers must provide buyers with a written disclosure statement - either confirming no drain tile exists or detailing its location, size, outlets, and water flow path using a map. This applies to all property transfers after January 1, 2026, and mandates a specific disclosure certificate to be included with deeds or recorded documents. The law aims to provide transparency about subsurface drainage infrastructure during real estate transactions, directly affecting buyers and sellers of eligible agricultural properties.
