CHAPTER 17
17-425. Land less than forty acres; ownership in severalty; county clerk may plat.
Whenever any congressional subdivision of land of forty acres or less or any lot or subdivision is owned by two or more persons in severalty, and the description of one or more of the different parts or parcels thereof cannot, in the judgment of the county clerk, be made sufficiently certain and accurate for the purpose of assessment and taxation without noting the metes and bounds of the same, the clerk shall require and cause to be made and recorded a plat of such tract or lot of land with its several subdivisions, in accordance with the provisions of section 17-415; and he shall proceed in such cases according to the provisions of section 17-424; and all the provisions of such section in relation to the plats of cities and villages, and so forth, shall govern as to the tracts and parcels of land in this section referred to.

Annotations:
This section has nothing to do with incorporation of cities and villages and, though a method is provided for vacation of plat hereunder, such act of vacating does not have the effect of disconnecting land from a municipality. Kershaw v. Jansen, 49 Neb. 467, 68 N.W. 616 (1896).
