Plat

In real estate, a “plat” refers to a detailed map or plan of a subdivision, showing the division of a larger parcel of land into smaller lots or parcels. Plats typically include precise measurements, boundaries, lot numbers, street names, and other relevant information necessary for the legal description and development of the land. Plats are usually prepared and approved by local government authorities or planning departments before the subdivision can be legally recorded and individual lots sold or developed.
