Section 37114 Of Chapter 3. General Powers From California Government Code >> Division 3. >> Title 4. >> Part 2. >> Chapter 3.
37114
. If real property is conveyed by a city and it is
subsequently determined and mutually agreed by the legislative body
of the city and the person to whom the property was conveyed that an
error was made in the description of the property conveyed, so that
less property is included in the description than was intended by the
parties, the legislative body of the city may by resolution recite
the facts of such error and approve such determination and agreement;
thereafter the legislative body may execute or cause to be executed
a corrective deed without conforming to the requirements of law, if
any, for the sale of real property by cities and without commencing a
judicial action to reform the deed.
A similar procedure may be followed with respect to property
conveyed to a city, where the error results in more property being
conveyed than was intended. In either case the resolution of the
legislative body shall be conclusive as to the facts recited therein
as to good faith purchasers or encumbrancers for value.
This section shall not apply to a conveyance by or to a city if
the error is in the published description required by law or charter,
nor shall this section require notice of such sale or purchase to be
published if not otherwise required by law.
