Procedures for county to alter preexisting boundary line established, and counties required to restore and perpetuate United States public land survey monuments.
This bill requires Minnesota counties to assess and restore historic U.S. public land survey monuments within their boundaries by 2028. It establishes a court petition process for counties seeking to alter preexisting boundary lines, mandating they file documentation and provide notice like other boundary disputes. Counties must document survey corners and file records with county offices, including certificate of location for restored monuments. These requirements apply to boundary changes filed on or after August 1, 2025, with assessments due by December 31, 2027.
