PLATTING Meaning and Definition

1. Platting, also known as platting a subdivision or platting land, refers to the process of dividing a parcel of land into smaller lots or plots for development or sale. This term is commonly used in real estate and land surveying.

   The platting process involves creating a detailed map, known as a plat, that accurately shows the dimensions, boundaries, and layout of the newly created lots. This map is usually prepared by a licensed surveyor or engineer and must adhere to local zoning laws, building codes, and subdivision regulations.

   Platting primarily serves the purpose of organizing and controlling the development of land. It allows for efficient land use by dividing large tracts into smaller, more manageable lots that can be sold or developed independently. Additionally, plats outline important details such as the location of roads, easements, utility lines, and other essential infrastructure.

   The platting process typically involves various administrative steps, such as obtaining approval from relevant government entities, including local planning departments, zoning boards, and county recorders. Depending on the jurisdiction, platting may also necessitate public hearings, where neighboring property owners and community members can voice concerns or provide input on the proposed subdivision.

   Overall, platting plays a crucial role in land development, providing a systematic and regulated approach to creating subdivisions and ensuring orderly growth in urban and suburban areas. It ensures that land is efficiently utilized, and that future development is carried out in accordance with local regulations, facilitating the development of functional and attractive communities.

Etymology of PLATTING

The word "platting" has its origins in the Middle English term "plat", which referred to a small section of land or a plot. This Middle English term was derived from the Old French word "plat", meaning "flat" or "level". The term was later used in the context of surveying and mapping to describe the process of dividing land into lots or parcels, which involved drawing up plans or plats. Over time, the term "platting" emerged to specifically denote the process of creating a plat or map for land subdivision.
