Property Records and Documents

Eden Prairie property records held at the Hennepin County Recorder include deeds that transfer ownership, mortgages that secure loans against the property, satisfactions of mortgage, liens and judgments, and plats that create new subdivisions. All of these are public record. They are indexed by party name and document type, so you can pull a chain of title or find a specific document by searching the index. Under Chapter 507, recording gives the public notice of an interest in property and protects the priority of the party who records first.
