57-45-11. Limitation of action against tax deed

Any person having or claiming title to or a lien or encumbrance upon any land, whether in

that person's possession or the possession of another, or vacant or unoccupied, may

commence and maintain an action against any person, county, or state claiming any title to or

interest in the land, or a lien upon the land, adversely to the person by or through any tax deed,

to test the validity of the tax deed, or to quiet the title to the land as against the claims of the

adverse claimant, or to remove the cloud from the title arising from the tax deed. An action or

defense based upon the invalidity of a tax deed may not be commenced or interposed after

three years from the issuance of a tax deed unless the tax deed is void by reason of

jurisdictional defects. The holder of a tax deed may maintain an action to establish the validity of

the tax deed or to quiet title to the land and may demand the possession of the land.
