What’s the difference between a plat map and a survey map?

A survey map is similar to a plot map, in that it shows an individual property rather than multiple ones like on a plat map. The difference is that these maps can include dimensions of structures on the land, like homes, pools or fences. Survey maps are also not legally required and are done for the property owner’s personal use.

Are plat map measurements accurate?

If you’re looking at a larger tract of land, plat maps are accurate enough to determine property owners and borders but not exact measurements. For more accurate measurements, consider hiring a land surveyor, who will easily determine accurate measurements.
