HRS §172-12
Land patent after boundary and commutation settled
This section says how the state issues a land patent for part of an ahupuaa or other land after a boundary commissioner certifies the boundaries. The land department must appraise the land's unimproved value, and once you pay the government commutation, it must issue a patent describing those boundaries.
