Request for Board Action:
Agenda Text
The Board is requested to approve a resolution to appoint County Review Officers and to cancel the duties of former County Review Officers who are no longer employed by the county. N.C. G. S. 47-30.2 requires the Board of County Commissioners in each County, by resolution, to appoint a person or persons to serve as Review Officer to review each plat before it is recorded and to certify that it meets the statutory requirements for recording.
Plat Review Officers examine each map and plat prior to its presentation to the Register of Deeds, and these positions certify that each plat has met the statutory requirements for recording. It has been the desire of the Durham County Board of Commissioners that the position of Review Officer be held by one or more staff members of the County to ensure that the review of all maps and plats is conducted expeditiously.
