01

Start with the right county for Granite Falls

Which of Chippewa County, Yellow Medicine County appears on the tax bill? Save that county’s parcel number along with the street or map location. A city name by itself is not sufficient for this cross-county place.

03

Granite Falls is 3.2 miles north of the Granite Falls reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?
