§ 28-20-11 — How judgment entered - Notice when entered

The judgment must specify clearly the relief granted or other determination of the action. An
entry of the judgment must be made by the clerk in the register of civil actions. The entry of any
judgment affecting the title or possession of real property, except judgments required to be
docketed under the provisions of section 28-20-13, is not notice of its contents or constructive
notice of such judgment to a subsequent bona fide purchaser or encumbrancer, nor to a privy of
any party to such judgment who is otherwise a subsequent purchaser or encumbrancer in good
faith, and for a valuable consideration, until a certified copy of such judgment is recorded in the
office of the recorder in the county in which such property is located.
