The Hennepin County board approved a pilot project authorizing the Examiner of Titles to use the administrative Certificate of Title (CPT) process to register the abstract portions of dual‑enrolled (abstract + Torrens) residential parcels for seven owner‑occupied homes (one per commissioner district).
