Platting
All attachments and information below can be found within the Land Development Procedures Manual (LDPM).
AFFECTED PROJECTS
Projects that involve a combination of splitting land into three or more parcels and roadway construction or renovation must go through the platting process. It should be noted that there are several exemptions to this in City Ordinance Section 654.106(nn).
Being exempted from the platting process does not necessarily exempt a project from having to submit Construction Plans for Site Development. Any project that proposes only to split land into three or more parcels must submit plans for review. Any project that proposes only roadway construction or renovation must also submit plans for review.
PLAT REQUREMENTS
For plat requirements, please refer to LDPM Volume 1, Section 3.0 which focuses on platting and dedication procedures.
FEES
All fees are posted on the City Fees webpage.
SUBMISSION / REVIEW PROCESSES
Preliminary (First Submittal)
Please refer to LDPM Volume 1, Section 3.1.2 for preliminary plat package requirements. The plat review process is now handled through JaxEPICS. Click on "Applications", "Start Civil Site Development Application", and then "Plat". The proposed plat will need to be submitted for the preliminary or first review along with the preliminary plat filing fee and, if obtainable, an updated title certification for the property. The plat is then routed to the various review agencies.
When all reviews are finished the plat will be sent back to the surveyor for corrections. If there are no corrections needed, a plat approval letter listing what will be needed with the recording package will be sent to the developer.
Final
This is identical to the preliminary plat review. The second plat submittal will need to include the final plat filing fee and, if applicable, the construction inspection fee. The final review process will repeat until the plat is approved.
Recording Package
Many items are required with the recording package, some of which are time sensitive. Please refer to LDPM Volume 1, Section 3.3 for the plat recording procedures and requirements. Once the plat has been approved, the recording package can be delivered to the Development Management Group located on the second floor of the Ed Ball Building (214 North Hogan Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202).
Revisions
Once a plat has been recorded, there are two ways to handle revisions to the plat:
- The surveyor can file a Scrivener's Error with the Clerk of the Circuit Court if the revision is minor and the surveyor agrees to it. Many surveyors will not agree to this if the revision is not due to an error on their part.
- The revised plat can by sent through the above review and recording processes again. The revised plat would be labeled as 'replat.'
