Requirements modification for well disclosures certificates
This bill modifies Minnesota's real estate disclosure requirements for wells. It requires sellers to provide a written disclosure about wells on property before sale, and at closing, to submit a "well disclosure certificate" to the Department of Health for a $50 fee. The certificate must include well locations (using legal descriptions or lot/block details), buyer information, and a unique certificate number that must appear on the property deed. The requirement applies to most real estate sales but does not cover mineral interest transfers or individual condominium units, and expires July 31, 2028.
