A plat map filed with the county recorder shows:
Correct Answer
B) Lot dimensions, easements and street dedications for a subdivision
Why this is correct: A plat map filed with the county recorder shows lot dimensions, easements and street dedications for a subdivision. It is the official, surveyed map that creates the lots and documents public and private rights within the subdivision, as noted in the original explanation. Why the other choices are wrong: A plat map does not show the market value of each lot at recording. It does not show the full construction schedule for the entire development. It also does not list the names of every future lot purchaser. Exam tip: For lot-and-block descriptions, the legal description points you to the plat map. Always review it for easements and dedications that affect value.
