A boundary adjustment plat is typically required by the municipality or county in which you reside if you are located within a plated subdivision.

Residential, Commercial or Industrial

• A boundary survey is performed on all the properties that share the common line that is to be adjusted.
• The current location of the shared line is determined.  Based on information provided by the owners of all the properties involved, an adjusted line is created on paper drawing (called a plat) to represent the new location of the shared property line.
• After approval by the municipality or county, the Boundary Adjustment Plat can be recorded.
• New property descriptions are then recorded to reflect the change in property ownership for all properties involved.

There can be several revisions and requests of change made by a municipality or county.  Each governing body handles the process differently and each should be consulted with prior to having a Boundary Adjustment Plat created.

Note: The time frame in which this type of project can be completed ranges from a few weeks to several months.  Many municipalities only meet monthly and requests for revisions can slow the process down.
