§ 62-2804. Subdivision plats and platting; recording.  


Latest version.
  • (a)

    It shall be unlawful for any person to submit a plat for the subdivision of land located in the county outside of any municipality to the clerk of the circuit court or his representative for the purpose of recording such plat in the office of the clerk of the circuit court of the county, until such plat has been approved by the board or their designee under the provisions of this article. In the event an unapproved plat is recorded, it shall be stricken from the public records upon the adoption of an appropriate resolution by the board. No changes, erasures, modifications or revisions shall be made in any plat after final approval without the consent of the board.

    (b)

    No plat shall be recorded, unless a constructed road is built, inspected and approved by the county within a publicly dedicated right-of-way providing access to the subdivision. In instances where legal access is provided to the subdivision by a privately maintained right-of-way, such right-of-way must be irrevocable, paved or built to county standards, inspected and approved by the county, and open to public and emergency vehicles.

    (c)

    In either case of a public or private road providing access, a plat may be recorded if a road, not yet constructed, inspected, and approved by the county, within a proposed public or private right-of-way has had security delivered in the amount of 125 percent of the construction cost to the county of the portions not yet completed.
