What is meant by o access?
If a parcel is sold without access, it is the purchaser’s responsibility to obtain an access into the property. If there is no access, you will be trespassing to cross another individual’s property to get to it without their permission. In the State of Minnesota, there is a law (Statute 164.08 subd 2) that stats if you have 5 acres or more, you cannot be denied access, however it is up to you to obtain your access. The first step would be to contact the adjoining land owners to see if they are interested in selling or giving you an access to the land. If they are not willing to do this, you would need to contact the township in which the land is located. The town board, by resolution, shall establish a cartway at least two rods wide connecting the petitioner’s land with a public road. Generally speaking, all costs incurred by the township would be paid by the individual requesting the easement.
