There are several key pieces of information required throughout the process of creating a plat. Gathering the appropriate signatures is one of the most important pieces of the plat puzzle. In this article, we talk about the important signatures required when creating a plat.

Gathering the Right Signatures

One of the last steps in the plat creation process is gathering the necessary signatures. This may seem simple but it’s absolutely essential that you get the correct signatures for your plat to ensure accuracy and proper recording. Below is a list of signatures you may need to gather. Note that the specific signatures you need may differ depending on your jurisdiction:

Any land owners included in the plat
City council board
City attorney
County surveyor
Surveyor who created the plat
County treasurer or auditor
County recorder

This is a very basic list and is not exhaustive. Every plat is unique and the signatures you need will vary based on a variety of factors so you should work closely with your title company to make sure you have all of your bases covered during the plat creation process. This can help you avoid timely and costly errors in the future.
