Surveys are recorded with the Recorder of Deeds at the individual’s discretion surveys are not required to be recorded with Jefferson County.

The subtle difference between a plot plan and a site plan is that a plot plan is for a single residence or single building whereas a site plan encompasses a larger area such as an industrial park, commercial development, or large subdivision. Other elements include the location of North, driveway and road location, utilities, private well/septic, etc. The definition of a plot (site) plan is a plan showing the property boundary lines, building setback lines, and the location of a structure with distances to the property lines.
