§ 36-2-19-4 — Recording plat of survey; information included; filing ordinance; filing fee

(a) If a land surveyor has prepared a plat of any
original, retracement, or record document survey (not including Indiana
surveyor location reports or other similar documents normally
associated with a mortgage loan) the plat shall be recorded in the
county recorder's office when:
(1) a new tax parcel is created;
(2) no survey has been previously recorded; or
(3) the monuments, monument references, or the description
varies from the last recorded survey of the parcel.
(b) The plat of survey described in subsection (a) must include the
following:
(1) The name of the owner or title holder according to the current
county tax records at the time of recording (or the actual title
holder if the land surveyor knows the tax records are not
accurate).
(2) The area of each surveyed tract.
(3) A statement indicating the existence or absence of
improvements on each surveyed tract.
(c) The county may enact an ordinance requiring that if plats of
survey have been prepared the plats must be filed with the county
surveyor's office. If such an ordinance is adopted and a plat of survey
has been prepared, a notarized record executed by the professional
surveyor of the filing (showing the name of the professional surveyor,
the date of certification, the name of the owner of the surveyed parcel
as described in subsection (b)(1), and a brief description of the
surveyed parcel) must be recorded in the recorder's office. The
ordinance shall establish a fee schedule for the filing of the plat.
