Minnesota SF559 prohibits fees for removing certain restrictive covenants from real property titles.

Minnesota SF559 amends state law to prohibit counties and political subdivisions from charging fees to homeowners for recording statutory forms to discharge restrictive covenants related to protected classes from real property titles. The bill specifies that such restrictive covenants are void regardless of whether the statutory form has been recorded. The discharge of these covenants is valid and enforceable under Minnesota law. This change does not apply to real property registered under chapters 508 and 508A.
