Certificate of Real Estate Value

Back to Real Estate Records

 

Buyers of real property must file a Certificate of real Estate Value with the County Auditor in the county where the property is located if the sale price or other consideration is more than $1,000 and the deed is a:
Warranty deed
Contract for deed
Quit Claim deed
Trustee deed
Executor deed
Probate deed
If the price is $1,000 or less, you do not have to file a Certificate of Real Estate Value.  However, on the deed write “The sale price or other consideration given for this property was $1,000 or less.” 

For questions about the Certificate of Real Estate Value form you may contact the Faribault County Auditors/Treasures office at (507)526-6213.  Or you may click on the link to the Minnesota Department of Revenue's Certificate of Real Estate.
