§ 36-7-3-8 — Report of survey and plat; approval procedures; recording; legal effect of plat

(a) When a plat is filed under section 7 of this
chapter, the municipal clerk shall immediately give notice, in
accordance with IC 5-3-1, that on a specified day, at an hour and place
named in the notice, the municipal legislative body will meet to
consider the professional surveyor's report and plat, and to hear any
objections to the report and plat by interested parties.
(b) If any errors or omissions are discovered, the legislative body
shall require the professional surveyor to correct them. When the
legislative body has approved the report of the survey and plat, it shall
give the plat an appropriate name and have it, together with the
resolution of approval, recorded in the proper records in the county
recorder's office. When recorded, the plat has the same legal effect as
if it had been done by the owners of the tracts platted.
