 11.8      Sec. 7.  Minnesota Statutes 1997 Supplement, section 
 11.9   515B.1-116, is amended to read: 
 11.10     515B.1-116 [RECORDING.] 
 11.11     (a) A declaration, bylaws, any amendment to a declaration 
 11.12  or bylaws, and any other instrument affecting a common interest 
 11.13  community shall be entitled to be recorded.  In those counties 
 11.14  which have a tract index, the county recorder shall enter the 
 11.15  declaration in the tract index for each unit affected.  The 
 11.16  registrar of titles shall file the declaration on the 
 11.17  certificate of title for each unit affected. 
 11.18     (b) The recording officer shall upon request promptly 
 11.19  assign a number (CIC number) to a common interest community to 
 11.20  be formed or to a common interest community resulting from the 
 11.21  merger of two or more common interest communities. 
 11.22     (c) Documents recorded pursuant to this chapter shall in 
 11.23  the case of registered land be filed, and references to the 
 11.24  recording of documents shall mean filed in the case of 
 11.25  registered land. 
 11.26     (d) Subject to any specific requirements of this chapter, 
 11.27  if any document to be recorded pursuant to this chapter requires 
 11.28  approval by a certain vote or agreement of the unit owners or 
 11.29  secured parties, an affidavit of the secretary of the 
 11.30  association stating that the required vote or agreement has 
 11.31  occurred shall be attached to the document and shall constitute 
 11.32  prima facie evidence of the representations contained therein. 
 11.33     (e) If a common interest community is located on registered 
 11.34  land, the recording fee for any document affecting two or more 
 11.35  units shall be the then-current fee for registering the document 
 11.36  on the certificates of title for the first ten affected 
 12.1   certificates and one-third of the then-current fee $5 for each 
 12.2   additional affected certificate.  This provision shall not apply 
 12.3   to recording fees for deeds of conveyance, with the exception of 
 12.4   deeds given pursuant to sections 515B.2-119 and 515B.3-112. 
 12.5      (f) Except as permitted under this subsection, a recording 
 12.6   officer shall not file or record a declaration creating a new 
 12.7   common interest community, unless the county treasurer has 
 12.8   certified that the property taxes payable in the current year 
 12.9   for the real estate included in the proposed common interest 
 12.10  community have been paid.  This certification is in addition to 
 12.11  the certification for delinquent taxes required by section 
 12.12  272.12.  In the case of preexisting common interest communities, 
 12.13  the recording officer shall accept, file, and record the 
 12.14  following instruments, without requiring a certification as to 
 12.15  the current or delinquent taxes on any of the units in the 
 12.16  common interest community:  (i) a declaration subjecting the 
 12.17  common interest community to this chapter; (ii) a declaration 
 12.18  changing the form of a common interest community pursuant to 
 12.19  section 515B.2-123; or (iii) an amendment to or restatement of 
 12.20  the declaration, bylaws, or CIC plat.  In order for the 
 12.21  instruments to be accepted and recorded under the preceding 
 12.22  sentence, the assessor must certify or otherwise inform the 
 12.23  recording officer that, for taxes payable in the current year, 
 12.24  the assessor has allocated taxable values to each unit or has 
 12.25  separately assessed each unit. 
 12.26     (g) The registrar of titles shall not require the filing on 
 12.27  certificates of title previously issued for units in a flexible 
 12.28  common interest community of an amendment to a declaration 
 12.29  pursuant to section 515B.2-111 made solely to add additional 
 12.30  real estate.
