GENERAL RULES OF PRACTICE

Rule 222.Condominiums

The procedure for administration by the Registrar of the Uniform Condominium Act shall be as follows:

(a) The declaration, bylaws and any amendments thereto, to be filed in the office of the Registrar of Titles, must be executed and acknowledged and embrace land within the county.

(b) In order to have uniformity in the recording offices and to protect the interests of the public generally, the general requirements of Minnesota Statutes, section 505.08, as to the platting of land shall be followed, namely: as authorized by Minnesota Statutes, section 505.08, subdivision 2a, only one set of transparencies shall be filed. The transparencies shall be of 4 mil. thickness, black on white on clear Mylar and be made by a fixed photo process. The transparencies shall be 20 by 30 inches in size. More detailed information on the drafting of the condominium plat may be obtained from the Registrar of Titles.

(c) The condominium plat is to be numbered serially beginning with the next number after the last apartment ownership number assigned pursuant to the Minnesota Condominium Act, Minnesota Statutes, chapter 515, and the numbers shall run consecutively within the offices of the County Recorder and the Registrar of Titles.

(d) Where registered land is to be submitted for administration under said act, the declarant, prior to filing the declaration and bylaws, shall obtain an Order of the Court in a Proceedings Subsequent to Initial Registration of land that the Declaration, including the condominium plat, and Bylaws, as submitted, comply with the various requirements of Minnesota Statutes, chapter 515A, and any amendments thereto. The Order shall direct the Registrar of Titles to accept such documents for registration and to enter them as separate memorials on the original Certificate of Title and on the Owner's Duplicate Certificate thereof. Reference to such documents, including the document numbers and dates of filing, shall be carried forward to each succeeding Certificate, including any Mortgagees' or Lessees' Duplicate Certificates.

(e) A condominium shall not include both registered land and unregistered land, but shall consist only of land that is all registered under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 508, or land of which no part is so registered.
