Modernizing Land Records Subcommittee

The Modernizing Land Records Subcommittee (MLRS) of the MSBA Real Property Section's Legislative Committee, was authorized to explore ideas for significant reforms to the Minnesota land records systems.  Recognizing that MLRS members are primarily private practice attorneys from the Metro area, we made a concerted effort to engage stakeholders around the state.  To gather initial information, we developed surveys for MSBA real property section members and county recorders, and hosted listening sessions in the fall of 2017.  The outcome of these listening sessions are posted as hyperlinks here:

The MLRS is currently seeking comments on the MLRS Report to Section Council link below.  Please use the form on this page to submit your comments.
