State guide
Minnesota
Minnesota does not use a single statewide meth-property registry page; instead, local community health services administrators maintain information for properties under meth-lab orders, and deed/title affidavits are used for notice. The Department of Health's current meth page tells residents to check with the local health department and also notes the DEA National Clandestine Laboratory Register.

- Contaminated property list

- Seller and landlord disclosure
- Before signing a sale or transfer agreement, the seller must disclose in writing if, to the seller's knowledge, methamphetamine production occurred on the property, and must state order/remediation status.
- Cleanup standard
- Remediation must follow the Department of Health's clandestine drug labs general cleanup guidelines, but MDH's current public page says MDH does not maintain meth lab cleanup guidance and recommends EPA voluntary guidelines; no numeric statewide clearance level was found on the official pages reviewed.
- State program
- Minnesota Department of Health for state information and contact directory; county or local health departments, sheriffs, and local community health services administrators run the property-order and public-information system.
