  2. Title 11

Procedure.

A. Municipal plats or plats of additions and subdivisions which

have been erroneously described on any record in the chain of title

to said plats, or are otherwise defective on their face, may be

corrected pursuant to the provisions of this section or pursuant to

the provisions of Sections 41-112 through 41-114 of this title.

B. If a municipal plat or plat of an addition or subdivision

which is executed and filed in the office of the county clerk of the

county in which said plat is located fails to identify or correctly

describe the land to be platted, the registered land surveyor who

prepared said plat may execute a certificate stating the nature of

the error and cure said defect. The surveyor shall refer to said

plat by correct page number and book in which said plat is recorded

by the county clerk. Said certificate shall be dated and signed by

said registered land surveyor.

C. If the registered land surveyor who originally certified

said plat pursuant to the provisions of Section 41-104 of this title

is not available, or if said plat was not prepared by a registered

land surveyor, a certificate as provided for in subsection B of this

section may be executed by any registered land surveyor, provided

said certificate states the reasons why the registered land surveyor

who prepared the plat was not available or that said plat was not

originally prepared by a registered land surveyor.

D. Prior to recording the correction certificate in the office

of the county clerk of the county in which said plat is located, the

certificate shall be approved by the planning commission or other

governmental body having jurisdiction, provided that such

certificate shall be approved by the municipal governing body if the

correction alters or otherwise affects a right-of-way or easement of

the municipality.

E. The certificate authorized by the provisions of this section

shall be retained by the county clerk of the county in which said

plat is located and shall be recorded as a correction in the county

plat book.

F. A certificate filed pursuant to the provisions of this

section shall be prima facie evidence of the statements contained in

said certificate and shall be received into evidence for that

purpose. No such certificate shall have the effect of destroying or

changing any vested rights which were acquired based upon an

existing plat despite the errors or defects contained in said plat.

The provisions of this section shall not prohibit any interested

party from commencing an action in the district court of the county

in which the plat is located pursuant to the provisions of Sections

41-112 through 41-114 of this title.
