What these requirements involve
Truth-in-Sale of Housing / Time-of-Sale
Several Twin Cities suburbs require a housing evaluation before a home is marketed. Some use city-licensed private evaluators. Others send a city inspector. The report is shown to buyers, and some items must be repaired. Read the guide.
Point-of-sale sewer inspection
Some Minnesota cities require a camera inspection of the private sewer line at sale, to find cracks, roots and illegal connections such as sump pumps that drain into the sanitary sewer. Read the guide.
