2004 Minnesota Statutes

     386.30 Deeds recorded within 30 days. 

    Each county recorder shall, within 30 days after any 
 instrument entitled to record is left for that purpose, actually 
 record the same in the manner provided by law and return the 
 same in person or by mail to the person who left such instrument 
 for record, if the person's residence is known, or to such other 
 person and at such address as the recorder may be directed to 
 deliver the same.  Persistent failure to so record and return 
 instruments entitled to record, upon demand therefor and payment 
 of recording fees, shall constitute nonfeasance in office and be 
 sufficient ground for removal therefrom.  In a county in which 
 the office of county recorder has been combined with another 
 county office, the 30-day time period begins when the tax 
 certifications required by chapters 272 and 287 are made, but 
 the total period to complete the time period after receipt of 
 the instrument by the office must not exceed 60 days.
