INFORMATION FOR PLAT AMENDMENTS
What is a plat amendment?
A plat amendment is a legal process that makes minor changes or corrections to a previously
recorded plat. A plat depicts the legal boundaries of a property.
When is a plat amendment required?
A plat amendment is required for any proposed changes to a recorded plat provided it meets the
requirements of the City of Lakeway Code of Ordinances. Typical plat amendments are used to
combine several lots into one lot or to adjust the lot boundaries between existing lots.
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). Staff may administratively approve the plat
once all review comments have been satisfactorily addressed.
What submittals are required for a plat amendment?
The applicant should submit the following to the Building and Development Services Department,
located at 1102 Lohmans Crossing Road, Lakeway, TX 78734:
1. Amended plat application and applicable fee.
2. Approved easement release forms from all relevant utility providers or a letter from the property
owner acknowledging that they prefer the existing easements remain.
(If a structure is proposed where the original lot line is being eliminated or adjusted, the existing
utility easements adjacent to that lot line must also be eliminated or adjusted. An approved
easement release form from the relevant utility providers lets us know that those easements are
no longer necessary to them and the plat amendment may proceed.)
3. A copy of the deed for the property.
4. Two (2) copies of the proposed plat signed by a registered surveyor showing all items listed on
the Amending Plat Checklist.
5. One (1) copy of a site plan showing existing lot lines and easements, proposed lot lines and
easements and any existing structures on the property.
If the property is within the extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) of the City, Travis County must also be
contacted for their approval process.
Once all staff comments have been satisfactorily addressed, one (1) 18”x24” mylar of the amended
plat shall be submitted to the city for signatures. Once signed, the owner must have the plat recorded
with the Travis County Clerk (www.co.travis.tx.us/county_clerk) and return a CD of pdf files of the
recorded document to the Building and Development Services Department.
