*The Following Minnesota and Houston County supplemental forms are included as a courtesy with your order.

Certificate of Real Estate Value

Buyers of real property must file this form if its sale price (or other consideration) is more than $3,000. Effective October 1, 2014, the Minnesota Department of Revenue will no longer accept the paper Certificate of Real Estate Value (CRV). Instead, the e-CRV is being implemented as an electronic replacement to the four-part paper CRV form. Transfer documents almost all require the electronic CRV and, if submitted with a paper CRV, will be rejected and required to be resubmitted with an e-CRV. Please consult the guidelines posted here for a specific list of documents. To submit the e-CRV, visit this url: https://www.revenue.state.mn.us/electronic-certificate-real-estate-value-ecrv

Form 2 is used if transfer tax is due and must be submitted within 30 days.

The “full” deed tax rate is .0033 (.0034 for Hennepin and Ramsey counties).

What is the Minnesota Release of Mechanic Lien?

Releasing Land from a Mechanics Lien

The Minnesota construction lien law doesn't set forth a specific provision for the release of a lien. Therefore, any form sufficient to identify the lien, the subject property, and the lien holder's intention of releasing it from a previously filed lien, will allow a lien holder to provide notice that the lien is released.

The Release of Land from Mechanic's Lien contains information identifying the lien claimant and the recorded mechanic's lien (such as the date recorded, office recorded, document number, book number, and page number), and the subject property. The Release should be recorded at the public records office or registrar of deeds (for Torrens title property).

This article is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as a substitute for the advice of an attorney. Please consult a Minnesota attorney with any questions about the Release of Land from Mechanic's Lien, or other issues related to liens.

Review: My experience could not have been better. Easy to communicate with, even though I'm largely ignorant of technical problem-solving. I may be addle-minded with 83 years on earth, but I think they actually cared about solving my problem and were sorry it was beyond their territory. Truly extra nice.
