92.08 SURVEYS AND RESURVEYS.
(a) The commissioner may have surveys made to determine the correct boundaries or
description of the land or to dispose of it in convenient parcels. When the commissioner
determines that the interest of the state will be promoted, the commissioner may subdivide land
controlled by the commissioner into smaller parcels or city lots.
(b) When the commissioner believes that an injustice has been done the purchaser because of
an incorrect United States survey, the commissioner may have a resurvey made by a competent
surveyor. The surveyor shall prepare a plat showing the correct acreage of each subdivision
resurveyed and file it with the commissioner and with the county recorder of the proper county.
The commissioner may call in the land certificates affected by the resurvey and issue new ones.
The certificates must show the correct acreage and give full credit for all payments of principal
and interest made.
