Plats

When property is initially subdivided or replatted (adding or subtracting one or more lots to a subdivision) or the plat is vacated,  the City Council must approve the transaction.

Required documentation and information

Pursuant to Local Government Code Sec. 212, all information and documentation listed on this page is required to be completed and submitted to the City with each plat, replat, or plat vacation application.

  • All information and documentation listed in Chapter 9 and Chapter 9A (“Subdivision Ordinance”) of the Village of the Hills’ Code of Ordinance found here
  • An approved and constructed drainage plan that applies to each parcel of property covered by the plat application. 
  • A 24"x36" sheet of the properties being platted or replatted submitted by the surveyor, signed by him/her and the property owners with notarized signatures.
  • One (1) plain paper black and white letter-sized copy of the original plat or replat.
  • A check for $200 for maximum number of lots affected, payable to "Village of The Hills"

All of these items along with the forms listed below should be submitted to the City offices at 102 Trophy Drive at least one week before the regular meeting of the Council (normally held the second Tuesday of each month).

Fees

The fee for approving a vacation is $200 per maximum number of lots affected and should be submitted with the request for vacation.

Please note: Some surveyors file the plat or replat with the County Clerk and some expect the property owner to do so. Please check with your surveyor to see if filing is included with his fee. In either case, if the regular meeting is held on the second Thursday of the month, and the plat or replat is approved, the signed plat may be picked up at the village office the next day.

  • Those requesting a vacation of replat should ask their title company what it requires. Some require a new survey and some just require a letter drawn up by their real estate attorney.
