  • What are eCRVs?Back to top

    Electronic “certificates of real estate value.”  These are up-to-date records of the value of Minnesota real estate, and are necessary to document property sales. The counties where the sales are made and the Minnesota Department of Revenue use them to verify the terms of sales, and to ensure that we are fairly and equitably assessing the taxable value of property statewide. The eCRV is taking place of the old paper copies of CRVs that have been used in the past.

  • Do others have access to the eCRV for my property?Back to top

    Yes, submitted eCRVs that are accepted by the county become public information. There is a public search available for county accepted eCRVs.  The PDF will not include Social Security numbers.

  • How long does the department keep eCRV data?Back to top

    For at least seven years once the data has been matched with a recorded deed. CRV data can be deleted within three months of being submitted if the counties can’t match them with deeds.

  • What if my deed or eCRV is rejected? Back to top

    If the county rejects the eCRV because of incorrect or missing information, whoever submitted the original information can edit the existing eCRV and resubmit the corrected eCRV to the county. 

  • How do the eCRV IDs work?Back to top

    The submitter must keep the eCRV number and submit it to the county along with the deed. The county will not be able to accept the deed without an eCRV number. The eCRV number is used by the county to find the submitted copy of the eCRV.

  • Are the eCRV's printable?Back to top

    Yes​

  • Is participation in eCRV required?Back to top

    All counties must now accept paper copies of the eCRV form. Not all counties are able to accept electronic versions yet.

  • What are the benefits of signing up for eCRV?Back to top

    Reduced errors on getting your CRV approved, more and better information on your CRV, and less work processing the CRV, to name a few of the advantages.
