INFORMATION FOR FINAL PLATS & REPLATS
What is a final plat/replat?
A final plat is a drawing depicting the legal boundaries of a property prepared for filing of record with
Travis County. The final plat shows features such as ownership, metes and bounds descriptions of lot
lines, street right-of-way dedication, utility and drainage easements, and other site information. A
replat is a final plat that alters the layout of all or a portion of a previously recorded final plat without
having to vacate that preceding plat. Chapter 212 of the Texas Local Government Code contains the
state law governing the approval of plats.
Final plats/replats require a public hearing and recommendation from the Zoning and Planning
Commission (ZAPCO) prior to a public hearing and determination by City Council. Plats within the ETJ
shall also make application with and receive approval from Travis County.
When is a final plat/replat required?
A final plat is required when the owner of a tract of land located within the city or its extraterritorial
jurisdiction wants to divide the tract into two or more parts to lay out a subdivision of the tract. A replat
may be required when the owner wants to alter the layout of all or a portion of an existing recorded
final plat.
How long does the review process take?
Although staff will make every effort to review the submittal as soon as possible, assume a 4-week
review period from the date of submittal (or resubmittal). The date the final plat/replat will be placed on
the ZAPCO and City Council agendas is dependent upon staff review comments being satisfactorily
addressed prior to those meetings.
What submittals are required for a final plat/replat?
The applicant should submit the following to the Building and Development Services Department,
located at 1102 Lohmans Crossing Road, Lakeway, TX 78734:
1. Final plat/replat application and applicable fee.
2. Documents and plans as listed in the “Final Plat/Replat Checklist”.
Once all staff comments have been satisfactorily addressed, one (1) 18”x24” copy, seventeen (17)
11”x17” folded copies and a CD of pdf files of the final plat/replat must be submitted for Zoning and
Planning Commission and City Council consideration. After City Council approval, the owner shall
obtain city signatures on a mylar and have the plat recorded with the Travis County Clerk
(www.co.travis.tx.us/county_clerk). After recordation, a CD of pdf files shall be returned to the
Building and Development Services Department.
