12-420. Correction of certain platting errors; procedure.
If, after recording a subdivision plat, an error is found
in distances, angles, bearings, subdivision or street names, block or lot
numbers, the computation of dimension or elevation or other details of the
plat, except in connection with the outer boundaries of the plat, and if
the property described in that part of the plat containing the error is
under the ownership of the person who caused the plat to be prepared, the
engineer of the approving city or county, in which the property is located,
after substantiation of the existence of the error may file an affidavit
with the register of deeds that the error was made. The affidavit shall
describe the nature and extent of the error and the appropriate correction.
The register of deeds shall record the affidavit, and shall place in the
margin of the recorded plat a notation that the affidavit has been filed,
the date of filing and the book and page where it is recorded. The filing
of the affidavit shall correct any such errors, but shall have no effect
on the validity of the plat or any property interest recorded by reference thereto.
