Final Plat
A Final Plat is required to subdivide property. The Final Plat application is to finalize the layout for subdividing land into two lots, finalize the layout as approved on a Preliminary Plat, documents minor changes to lots that shift or consolidate lot lines, create easements and/or any other minor changes that do not involve the creation of new lots. Final Plats are reviewed and approved by the Planning Commission. Flow chart
