§ 469.152 PURPOSES.
Status: in_force

The welfare of the state requires the active promotion, attraction, encouragement, and development of economically sound industry and commerce through governmental action for the purpose of preventing the emergence of blighted and marginal lands and areas of chronic unemployment. It is the policy of the state to facilitate and encourage action by local government units to prevent the economic deterioration of such areas to the point where the process can be reversed only by total redevelopment through the use of local, state, and federal funds derived from taxation, necessitating relocating displaced persons and duplicating public services in other areas. By the use of the powers and procedures described in sections 469.152 to 469.165 , local government units and their agencies and authorities responsible for redevelopment and economic development may prevent occurrence of conditions requiring redevelopment, or aid in the redevelopment of existing areas of blight, marginal land, and avoidance of substantial and persistent unemployment.

The welfare of the state further requires the provision of necessary health care facilities, so that adequate health care services are available to residents of the state at reasonable cost. The welfare of the state further requires the provision of county jail facilities for the purpose of providing adequately for the care, control, and safeguarding of civil rights of prisoners. The welfare of the state requires that, whenever feasible, employment opportunities made available in part by sections 469.152 to 469.165 or other state law providing for similar financing mechanisms should be offered to individuals who are unemployed or who are economically disadvantaged.

The welfare of the state further requires that, whenever feasible, action should be taken to reduce the cost of borrowing by local governments for public purposes.

§ 508A.01 REGISTRATION; PURPOSE; DEFINITION.
Status: in_force

§ Subdivision 1. Procedure. The procedures for registration under sections 508A.01 to 508A.85 provide an alternative to registration under chapter 508 , and are intended for uncontested titles. Upon the written recommendation of the county recorder, the county board of county commissioners of any county, by resolution, may authorize the possessory title to real estate in that county to be registered in accordance with the provisions of and in the manner provided in sections 508A.01 to 508A.85 .

§ Subd. 2. Purpose. The purpose of sections 508A.01 to 508A.85 is to provide a voluntary procedure for registration of certain possessory estates in land with certainty, at reasonable cost and speed, and without the necessity for the initial adjudication required by chapter 508 , and to provide for initial registration of land under a certificate of possessory title ("CPT"). Upon the expiration of five years from the date of the first CPT, the registrar of titles shall cancel the CPT and issue a certificate of title as provided in section 508A.85, subdivisions 2 and 3.

§ Subd. 3. Definition. For the purposes of sections 508A.01 to 508A.85 , the term "possessory estate in land" means a fee simple estate held by an owner who (1) has been found on examination by the examiner of titles pursuant to section 508A.13 to be the record owner of the land described; and (2) has satisfied the examiner of titles that the owner is in actual or constructive possession of the land described.
