For the purpose of giving mailed notice, owners are those shown on the records of the county auditor. The notice may be in the form of a postcard or a notice may be inserted in the envelope containing the payable 1994 property tax statement, if the property tax statements have not yet been mailed. The notice to the homeowner must say the following: "Attention Homeowners! A new law increases the funding for special property tax refunds for taxes payable in 1994. You may be eligible for a special property tax refund: (1) If the 1994 property taxes on your homestead increased 12 percent or more and that increase was at least $100; or (2) If you received a refund last year under this program. If you meet either of the above two criteria, obtain a copy of the M-1PR property tax refund form. On the back of that form is Schedule 1 for determining whether you are eligible to receive a special tax refund. The printed amount, however, shown on lines 25 and 27, has been changed by the new law from $300 to $100. Complete that schedule by comparing your qualifying property tax amount to a $100 amount on lines 25 and 27, rather than the $300 amount printed on the form. If you qualify for a refund, send the completed M-1PR to the Department of Revenue. If you have already filed an M-1PR with the Minnesota Department of Revenue, you do not need to file a second form. The Commissioner of Revenue will recompute your refund based upon a $100 minimum increase. If you have any questions, call ....... county at (telephone number).""

An assignment of a sheriff's or referee's certificate of sale, when the certificate of sale describes real estate, and certificates of redemption from mortgage or lien foreclosure sales, when the certificate of redemption encompasses real estate and is issued to a junior creditor, are considered instruments conveying land for the purposes of this section and section 272.121. If there are taxes delinquent, the auditor shall certify to the same; and upon payment of such taxes, or in case no taxes are delinquent, shall transfer the land upon the books of the auditor's office, and note upon the instrument, over official signature, the words, "no delinquent taxes and transfer entered," or, if the land described has been sold or assigned to an actual purchaser for taxes, the words "paid by sale of land described within;" and, unless such statement is made upon such instrument, the county recorder or the registrar of titles shall refuse to receive or record the same; provided, that sheriff's or referees' certificates of sale on execution or foreclosure of a lien or mortgage, certificates of redemption from mortgage or lien foreclosure sales issued to the redeeming mortgagor or lienee, deeds of distribution made by a personal representative in probate proceedings, decrees and judgments, receivers receipts, patents, and copies of town or statutory city plats, in case the original plat filed in the office of the county recorder has been lost or destroyed, and the instruments releasing, removing and discharging reversionary and forfeiture provisions affecting title to land and instruments releasing, removing or discharging easement rights in land or building or other restrictions, may be recorded without such certificate; and, provided that instruments conveying land and, as appurtenant thereto an easement over adjacent tract or tracts of land, may be recorded without such certificate as to the land covered by such easement; and provided further, that any instrument granting an easement made in favor of any public utility or pipe line for conveying gas, liquids or solids in suspension, in the nature of a right of way over, along, across or under a tract of land may be recorded without such certificate as to the land covered by such easement. Any instrument amending or restating the declarations, bylaws, plats, or other enabling documents governing homeowners associations of condominiums, townhouses, common interest ownership communities, and other planned unit developments may be recorded without the auditor's certificate.

A decree or judgment that affects title to land but does not convey land may be recorded without presentation to the auditor. A violation of this section by the county recorder or the registrar of titles shall be a gross misdemeanor, and, in addition to the punishment therefor, the recorder or registrar shall be liable to the grantee of any instrument so recorded for the amount of any damages sustained. When, as a condition to permitting the recording of deed or other instrument affecting the title to real estate previously forfeited to the state under the provisions of sections 281.16 to 281.27, county officials, after such real estate has been purchased or repurchased, have required the payment of taxes erroneously assumed to have accrued against such real estate after forfeiture and before the date of purchase or repurchase, the sum required to be so paid shall be refunded to the persons entitled thereto out of moneys in the funds in which the sum so paid was placed.
