What is a plat of survey and why is it required?

A plat of survey is provided with the mortgage papers received when the lender closes on a piece of property. If you do not have a plat of survey, you can contact your lender and they will send you a copy. Village staff can also inspect its files for a copy of the plat of survey. If a plat of survey cannot be located, a land surveyor may need to be hired to create a new plat of survey.
