§ 771.020.Action to Clear Title If Proposed Dedication Presumed Not Accepted

Establishing the presumption under § 771.010 is only half the job — this section supplies the mechanism to clear the title. Once the presumption applies, § 771.020(a) authorizes an action to remove the cloud the unaccepted dedication left on the record.

Rather than creating a wholly separate procedure, subdivision (b) routes the action through Chapter 4's general quiet title framework, starting at § 760.010. Two features are specific to this context: the public entity to which the dedication was proposed has to be named as a defendant, and the resulting judgment clears title of the proposed dedication and removes the cloud it created.

That combination — a narrow substantive presumption paired with the general quiet title machinery — is typical of this chapter. The presumption in § 771.010 does the real work of resolving the underlying dispute; § 771.020 channels that resolved fact into the existing quiet title procedure rather than reinventing it.
