Text

(a) If the boundaries of any city or town are uncertain or
incapable of ascertainment, the governing body, by ordinance,
may provide for a survey thereof. If the survey is made, the
boundaries shall be marked by substantial monuments, and the
person making the survey shall report to the governing body

as nearly as possible shall refer, if upon surveyed lands, to
the corners or lines of the United States surveys. The person
making the survey shall also file with the city or town clerk
the field notes of his survey. The city or town clerk shall
then file a copy of the report and a copy of the field notes
certified by the mayor and clerk with the county clerk for the
county in which the city or town is located.
(b) Any survey made and recorded as provided in subsection
(a) of this section is presumptive of the boundaries of the city
or town, and any copy thereof certified by the county clerk
shall be received in evidence in any court of this state.
(c) The city or town clerk shall file a copy of an
official map or legal description designating the geographical
boundaries of the city or town or the changes to its
geographical boundaries with the department of revenue, the
county assessor and the county clerk in the county or counties
within which the city or town is located in accordance with the
department's rules adopted pursuant to W.S. 39-11-102(c)(xxiv)
regarding tax districts, with any special district affected by
the boundary change and as follows:
(i) Within ten (10) days after the effective date of
formation; and
(ii) Within thirty (30) days if a city or town has
changes to its geographical boundaries by annexation or de-
annexation.
