_____
MYLAR:
Submit final subdivision plat on mylar, vellum or comparable material. Plat should have signatures of all
property owners (husband and wife, family members, etc.) that are listed on the current deed recorded with the Davidson
County Register of Deeds. If ownership has changed between when the plat was originally reviewed by staff and now - -
at time of plat recordation, provide current recorded deed bearing the Davidson County Register of Deeds instrument
number on face of deed with mylar.
_____
RECORDING FEE:
Submit a separate check with mylar with recording fee shown on page 1 of this application
(no credit card; cash is no longer accepted by the Metro Planning Department). Planning staff is unable to issue a
receipt for recording fees received because money goes to the Register of Deeds, not the Planning Department.
(Note: Checks must not be older than 90 days to be accepted by Register of Deeds. If check is older, you may be
asked by staff to write a new check. Your older dated check will be returned to you).
_____
DIGITAL COPY:
Provide copy of final plat on a CD (no floppy disks, no pdfs) registered to the TN State Plane
Coordinate System, North American Datum 1983 (NAD83). Put data in separate layers and label them for easy
identification. Plat will not be recorded without a CD. Staff will verify if CD is registered to TN State Plane Coordinate
System before recording plat.
_____
PLAT COPYING (OUTSIDE FEE):
Metro Planning sends the mylar, after the plat is recorded, to a printer to make
11 copies and to fold and deliver those copies back to the Metro Planning Dept. The paper copy is distributed by Metro
Planning to various agencies. The printer calls the surveyor to pick-up the actual mylar after copying has been
completed. The surveyor is responsible for paying the printer for copying, folding, and delivering the recorded plat to
Metro. The approximate cost for a 1 page plat is $20.00. The surveyor is fully responsible for paying this fee.
