Every county or city has different requirements. We can help you obtain current permit requirements for your community. Some counties and cities require a survey plat, and even if it isn’t expressly required, it’s a good idea to have one to determine if there are unusual property setbacks, flood plains or utility easements. Your closing attorney or title company may provide you a copy if you didn’t receive one at the closing. If neither of these sources can provide a plat, we can recommend surveyors who will prepare a new one for a nominal fee.
