A development cannot sell lots or units that do not legally exist yet. Until the land is platted, the boundaries, easements, and units are not recorded, and the project cannot close or build on them.

What is subdivision platting?

A plat legally divides a parcel into lots, tracts, or condominium units for recording and development. ATHCA prepares subdivision and condominium plats across Florida, establishing the boundaries, easements, and dimensions that the county and the developer need to record the plat and move the project forward.

Frequently asked questions

What is a subdivision plat?
A subdivision plat is a recorded survey that divides a parcel into numbered lots, tracts, easements, and rights-of-way, creating the legal lots a development is built and sold on.
What is a condominium plat?
A condominium plat describes the units, common elements, and limited common elements of a condominium so they can be conveyed and recorded under Florida’s condominium statutes.
How long does platting take?
It depends on the parcel, the layout, and county review. ATHCA gives you a schedule with the quote once the scope and jurisdiction are confirmed.
Do you handle both subdivisions and condominiums?
Yes. ATHCA prepares subdivision plats that create lots and tracts, and condominium plats that describe units and common elements for recording in Florida.
What is the difference between a plat and a boundary survey?
A boundary survey establishes the lines of an existing parcel. A plat divides that parcel into new, recordable lots or units with their own boundaries, easements, and dimensions.
