(A) General requirements. The plat for a subdivision or development shall contain the requirements hereinafter enumerated.
(B) Title certification. Every plat of a subdivision submitted to the approving agency of the local governing body must be accompanied by a title opinion of an attorney at law licensed in the state or a certification of an abstractor or a title company showing that the record title to the land described and shown on the plat is in the name of the person, persons, corporation or entity executing the dedication, if any, as it is shown on the plat and, if the plat does not contain a dedication, that the developer has record title to the land. The title opinion or certification shall also show all mortgages not satisfied or released of record not otherwise terminated by law.
(C) Qualification of person making survey and plat certification. Every subdivision of lands made within the provisions of this subchapter shall be made under the responsible direction and supervision of a land surveyor who shall certify on the plat that the plat is a true and correct representation of the lands surveyed, that the survey was made under his or her responsible direction and supervision, and that the survey data complies with all of the requirements of this subchapter. The certification shall bear the signature, registration number and the official seal of the surveyor.
(D) Dedication by developer. Every plat of a subdivision filed for record must contain a dedication by the developer. The dedication shall be executed by all developers having a record interest in the lands subdivided, in the same manner in which deeds are required to be executed. All mortgagees having a record interest in the lands subdivided shall execute, in the same manner in which deeds are required to be executed, either the dedication contained on the plat or a separate instrument joining in and ratifying the plat and all dedications and reservations thereon.
(E) Approval by town. When a tract or parcel of land has been subdivided and a plat thereof bearing the dedication executed by the developers and mortgagees having a record interest in the lands subdivided and the approval of the town has been secured and recorded in compliance with this section, all streets, alleys, easements, rights-of-way and public areas shown on such plat, unless otherwise stated, shall be deemed to have been dedicated to the public for the uses and purposes thereon stated; however, nothing herein shall be construed as creating an obligation upon town to perform any act of construction or maintenance within such dedicated areas except when the obligation is voluntarily assumed by the town.
(F) Roads, streets and trafficways. No subdivision or development will be approved which contains a structure or use which would interfere with the existing cross-section of a roadway shown on the County Traffic Plan or shown on any other appropriate plan maintained by the town. No subdivision or plat shall be approved which requires that State Road A1A be widened.
(G) Technical requirements for plats. Every plat of a subdivision offered for recording shall conform to the technical requirements set forth in F.S. Ch. 177.091, and otherwise be in proper form and content for recording in the public records of the county.
