Under Minnesota's well disclosure requirements (Minn. Stat. § 103I.235), all of the following statements are TRUE about the Well Disclosure Certificate EXCEPT:

Correct Answer

D) It must be filed with the county recorder even when no wells exist on the property

When no wells exist on the property, a Well Disclosure Certificate does NOT need to be filed with the county recorder. Instead, under Minn. Stat. § 103I.235, when there are no wells on the property, the deed itself must contain a statement to that effect. The Well Disclosure Certificate as a separate document is only required when wells actually exist on the property. Therefore, the statement in option D is FALSE — it is the exception, not the rule.

Answer Options
A
It must disclose the location and status of all wells on the property being transferred
B
It must be filed with the county recorder at the time of closing when wells exist on the property
C
It is maintained in a statewide database by the Minnesota Department of Health
D
It must be filed with the county recorder even when no wells exist on the property
