§ 25-294 — Recordation

Sec. 25-294. - Recordation.

Upon the approval of the subdivision plat by the Commission, the subdivider shall record it in the office of the clerk of the court in the City in which deeds conveying lots in the subdivision are required to be recorded, within six months from the day the plat is approved. Upon failure to record the plat within six months from the date of such approval of the Commission, such failure shall operate to revoke such approval and render it void and of no effect. Unless a plat is filed for recordation within six months after final approval thereof or such longer period as may be approved by the Commission, such approval shall be withdrawn and such plat marked void and returned to the Secretary of the Commission; however, when construction of facilities to be dedicated for public use has commenced pursuant to an approved plan or permit with surety approved by the appropriate City department or when the developer has furnished surety to the appropriate City department by certified check, cash escrow, bond or letter of credit in the amount of the estimated cost of construction of such facilities, the time for plat recordation shall be extended to one year after final approval or to the time limit specified in the surety agreement approved by the appropriate City department, whichever is greater.
