California Codes, Code of Civil Procedure - CCP, Part 2 — Of Civil Actions, Title 10 — Actions in Particular Cases, Chapter 4.6 — Actions Concerning Real Property Titles Affected by Public Improvement Assessments, Section 801.12
If the court determines that none of the defendants have any right, title, interest, lien or estate in the property, it shall render its final decree quieting the plaintiff’s title. If the court determines that any of the defendants have any right, title, interest, lien or estate in the property, it shall render its decree establishing these rights and may order the sale of the property or partition thereof. The decree shall direct the public officer having the record of the assessment, bond or certificate of sale to cancel the record thereof.
Notes
Requires the court to quiet the plaintiff’s title if no defendant has any right, title, interest, lien, or estate in the property. If a defendant does, the decree must establish that interest and may order sale or partition; in either event, the decree must direct the responsible public officer to cancel the assessment, bond, or sale-certificate record.
