Full Text of § 801.15
Plain-English Summary
This is the last step that turns a courtroom decree into a cleared public record. After the judgment becomes final, a certified copy goes to the public officer holding the record of the assessment, bond, or certificate of sale.
That official then marks the record with a specific statutory notation: “Canceled by judgment of court, superior court case number (here give number).” From that point on, anyone examining the official assessment records sees the matter resolved, mirroring how § 770.080 requires recording a decree to clear a chain-of-title identity gap.
