What County Recorders Want Planners to Know »
2023 Fall Conference, September 29, 2023 11:10 amHave you ever taken an intensively reviewed plat to the County Recorder’s Office for recording, only to be told the plat has issues that need to be fixed before it can be documented? Has it been challenging to understand the requirements for different types of plats, such as Subdivision, Condominium, Annexation, Vacating, and more? The purpose of this session is for planners and all others involved with plats to learn from state certified cadastral mappers from various County Recorder’s Offices in what they inspect in a plat before it is ready to be recorded. Come ready to ask questions and gain valuable insight in plat reviewal, so next time the plat is sent to the Recorder’s Office, it is ready to be recorded.
