What Is a Consolidation Plat
A consolidation plat merges platted lots into fewer lots on one new sheet.
Platbookmapper is an Amazon Associate. If you buy through an Amazon link on this page, we earn a commission. The link is a product, not the county map.
Owners use it when they want one building site across an old lot line and the code wants a plat rather than a note in a deed. The new lot gets a number and an area.
On the recorded sheet
The old lines are shown only as reference, or they disappear. The certificate should say the prior lots are consolidated.
The mix-up to avoid
A tax-office combination that only joins the bill is not a consolidation plat. Permits may still see two lots until the plat is recorded.
Find the county map
Search the county on the Platbookmapper home page. The directory links to the official parcel viewer. It does not draw the lots, and the line on the screen is an assessment map, not a survey.
Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey.
