Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Minnesota
Septic system and property lines
We sold a cabin that has a mound septic system. The party we sold it to has informed us that his neighbor thinks the mound is partially on his land. The county documents state the mound is the proper setback from the land of this neighbor, BUT the county does not get into or accountable for property line disputes. SO who is ultimately accountable to make sure the septic design was followed and meets property setbacks-The Licensed Septic Installer OR the homeowner?

Re: Septic system and property lines
The septic system installer should have worked off a survey of the property, provided by the owner.
Before getting too deep into who is responsible for the mistake, the current owners should determin if there is a mistake. This involves staking the relevant boundary line off of a reliable survey and then staking the closest point of the mound. Before the current owners have established that the problem exists, you as a former owner don't need to get further involved.
