SUBDIVISION PLATS are used to create many smaller parcels out of one or more parent parcels. Subdivision plats often include creating public right of ways and utility easements to serve the newly created lots. Local and state subdivision requirements vary but most require a concept plan and/or preliminary plat and a government approval.
CERTIFIED SURVEY MAPS are used in Wisconsin to create 1-4 smaller parcels out of one or more parent parcels. Certified Survey Maps are reviewed and approved on the local and county level and recorded in the county's Register of Deeds Office.
REGISTERED LAND SURVEYS are used in Minnesota for Torrens property. When Torrens property is subdivided, the lots are platted as Tracts in a Registered Land Survey and recorded in the office of the County Recorder.
ASSESSOR'S PLATS are ordered by governmental units to rectify deficiencies or discrepancies in recorded deeds. They often include many adjacent properties in areas where there are conflicting record descriptions. Assessor's Plats do not create new parcels, they just clarify the records of existing parcels.
