§ 11-18-21 — Alteration of existing boundary lines by court or arbitrator - Filing of plat required

required.
Within thirty days of the issuance of any judgment or final decision in a court action or
arbitration proceeding which establishes a boundary for real property that deviates from the
existing boundaries established by the United States public land surveys, surveys using the
North Dakota coordinate system, or any other official survey depicting the boundaries of real
property, a plat must be filed in the office of the recorder in the county where the property is
located, containing a diagrammatic depiction of the boundary as it existed prior to the judgment
or final decision, and as established by the judgment or final decision. The plat must be
prepared by a land surveyor registered pursuant to chapter 43-19.1. The plat must be filed in
the same manner as provided in section 47-20.1-06 and must clearly indicate that it depicts
changes in existing boundaries ordered by the judgment of a court or the final decision of an

arbitrator. Specific reference to the property affected must appear prominently in the title of the
plat. Liability for the costs and responsibility for filing of the plat must be set by the court or
arbitrator issuing the judgment or final decision. The requirements of this section are in addition
to any other filing or recordation otherwise required in this state.
