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.
