The bill amends Section 650.14 of the Iowa Code to clarify the process for establishing land boundaries and corners through acquiescence. It stipulates that if boundaries and corners have been recognized and acquiesced in for a period of ten years, they shall be permanently established. The new language indicates that this process is self-executing, meaning that once an acquiesced boundary and corners are established, they remain in effect even if the adjacent tracts come under common ownership.

Additionally, the bill allows for the possibility of new boundaries and corners to be recognized and acquiesced to by adjoining parties. If these new boundaries and corners are recognized and acquiesced in for another ten-year period, they too will become permanently established. This amendment aims to provide clarity and stability in land boundary disputes, ensuring that established boundaries are maintained unless a new agreement is reached and recognized over the specified time frame.
