Free Minnesota Quitclaim Deed Form

A Minnesota quitclaim deed is a document used to transfer property ownership from one individual or entity (the grantor) to another individual or entity (the grantee) without providing any guarantees or warranties on the property title.

Laws & Requirements

Statute: Minnesota Statutes Chapter 507 (Recording and Filing Conveyances).

Signing Requirements: Minnesota Statutes Section 507.24: The grantor must sign the quitclaim deed in the presence of a notary public.

Recording Requirements: Minnesota Statutes Section 507.0944: Register your Minnesota quitclaim deed form with the County Recorder’s Office where the property is located, and submit a recording fee.

Transfer Tax: Yes. Minnesota law imposes a transfer tax, also called a deed tax, on the value of the property transferred. The deed tax does not apply to deeds valued at less than 3,000. The deed tax rate is 0.33 % of the selling price (net consideration) and is paid to the county treasurer.

Additional Documents: If the consideration for the property is greater than $3,000, then the Electronic Certificate of Real Estate Value (eCRV) document must be filed with the quitclaim deed. When the consideration is $3,000 or less, the transfer document should contain language stating the eCRV is not required. In addition, if the property has a new well that was put in place after the grantor’s original purchase, the Well Disclosure Certificate is needed.
