Bill > HB2247

This bill updates requirements for filing land plans with the registrar's office by removing outdated language like "blueprint" and allowing for plans to be submitted on any approved "tangible medium" instead of just tracing cloth, while also authorizing the Department of Accounting and General Services to approve these formats. It clarifies that fees for checking and approving surveys and plans are set by rules adopted by the Department of Accounting and General Services, rather than a fixed hourly rate, and expands the acceptable drawing scales for these plans to include more options. Additionally, the bill removes the requirement for a letter from a licensed professional surveyor certifying that a metes and bounds description matches the plat map when filing certain documents, and allows for exceptions to the rule that only contiguous parcels can be shown on a single plan if the Department of Accounting and General Services deems it appropriate.
