1.) Common Interest Community Resale: Sellers of units in a Common Interest Community (HOA, condo, or co-op) must provide a disclosure certificate detailing the association’s rules and fees ((§ 515B.4-101). A full list of Minnesota’s CIC disclosure requirements can be found in § 515B.4-102.

2.) Condition of the Property Disclosure (RPF15) (§ 513.55) – As required in most states, Minnesota compels sellers to execute a disclosure report that catalogs all the property’s known material defects, as well as the overall condition of the structure and appliances within it. (This must be accomplished prior to signing any type of sales contract.)

3.) Contracts for Deed (§ 559.202) – If the individual who put the property on the market is a “multiple seller”, they are obligated to complete and attach the notice linked in the title to the front page of the purchase agreement.

4.) Real Property Contaminated with Hazardous Substances: If the seller is aware that the property has been used as a site of hazardous waste disposal, they must disclose this information using the affidavit linked in the title (§ 115B.16(2)). The document must be presented to the county recorder for processing.

5.) Lead-Based Paint Disclosure: Sellers of homes built before 1978 must disclose any known lead-based paint hazards and provide buyers with a federally-approved lead hazard information pamphlet (42 U.S.C. § 4852d).

6.) Methamphetamine Production – The seller must disclose whether methamphetamine has ever been produced on the property and the status of any resulting cleanup orders (§ 152.0275(m)).

7.) Radon:  The seller must use this state-provided form to disclose the dwelling’s history of radon testing (§ 144.496(3)). The seller must also provide the buyer with a copy of the Minnesota Department of Health’s “Radon in Real Estate Transactions” publication.

8.) Storage Tanks (§ 116.48(6)) – Properties that contain either an aboveground or underground storage tank require the seller to execute an affidavit that provides a description of the tank as well as its location. The form must then be delivered to the county recorder for verification purposes. Once it has been recorded, the seller must collect a copy of the document to present to the prospective buyer for full disclosure.

9.) Subsurface Sewage Treatment System (§ 115.55(6)) – Before the legal transfer of property can occur, the seller is obliged to express, in writing, how the property’s sewage system operates. (The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency offers a brief guide on Disclosing SSTS at Property Transfer.)

10.) Valuation Exclusion (§ 273.11(18)) – If the residence for sale has an exclusion from market value for home improvements regarding property tax, the seller shall disclose this information to the buyer and notify them that the property’s estimated market value for property tax purposes will increase upon the exchange.

11.) Location of Wells (§ 103I.235) – Selling party must convey to the purchaser the location of any wells within the property lines and give a brief description of their current status.
