Platting Process
Platting is the way in which property is divided, through laying out on paper or mapping each piece of land. A recorded plat indicates lots, building lines, easements and rights-of-way, flood areas, boundary markers, and other permanent attachments to land. Platting generally takes 4 to 6 weeks each for the preliminary and final plat stages and involves:
- Pre-application conference (recommended / optional)
- Review of preliminary plat by staff
- Development Review Committee (DRC)
- Review comments to applicant within one week
- Fees, tax certification, corrected plat and completed application submitted by applicant
- Consideration by Planning and Zoning Commission
- Submittal of final plat for review by the DRC
- Process repeats as shown above
- After Planning and Zoning approval, applicant submits one mylar for signature and filing by the city at county courthouse
Re-Platting

- Pre-application conference (recommended / optional)
- Review by the staff DRC
- Review comments to applicant within one week
- Fees, tax certification, corrected plat and completed application submitted by applicant
- Notification posted in the newspaper at least 15 days prior to the Planning and Zoning Public Hearing date
