505.08 PREPARATION OF PLAT; FILING; CERTIFICATION; FEES; PENALTIES.
    Subdivision 1.[Repealed, 2007 c 73 s 7]
    Subd. 2. Public certified copies. The copies of the official plat or of the exact reproducible
copy shall be compared and certified to by the county recorder or registrar of titles in the manner
in which certified copies of records are issued in the recorder's or registrar's office, and the copy
thereof shall be for the use of the general public and anyone shall have access to and may inspect
such certified copy during normal business hours. When the plat includes both registered and
nonregistered land, copies thereof shall be so certified and available for such general public use
in each of the offices of the county recorder and registrar of titles; provided, however, that only
one such copy so certified shall be provided for general public use in those counties wherein the
offices of the county recorder and registrar of titles are one and the same. When any copy, or any
part thereof, shall become illegible from use or wear or otherwise, it shall be the duty of the
county recorder or registrar of titles or county surveyor, depending upon where the copy resides,
to make a reproduction copy of the official plat, or the exact transparent reproducible copy. It shall
be the responsibility of the county recorder or registrar of titles to compare the copy, certify that it
is a correct copy thereof, by proper certificate as set forth above, and it shall be made available
in place of the illegible copy. Reproductions from the exact transparent reproducible copy shall
be available to any person upon request and the cost of such reproductions shall be paid by the
person making such request. If a copy of the official plat is requested, the county recorder shall
prepare it and duly certify that it is a copy of the official plat and the cost of such copy shall
be paid by the person making such request.
