Plat Map
A recorded survey map that shows the division of land into lots in a planned development. The plat map identifies individual lot boundaries, common areas, easements, roads, and utility locations. It is the equivalent of a condominium plan for planned developments where each owner has a lot rather than an airspace unit. Plat maps are filed with the county recorder.

What is the difference between a plat map and a condominium plan?
A plat map shows the division of land into individual lots in a planned development — each owner owns their lot and the land beneath their home. A condominium plan shows the layout of airspace units within a building. Plat maps are used for single-family and townhouse communities organized as planned developments, while condominium plans are used for condominium projects.
