Which term refers to the subdivision map filed to show parcel boundaries within a subdivision?

• A. Land acquisition
• B. Subdivision plat map
• C. Dedication
• D. Federally related transaction

Answer: (B)

A subdivision plat map is the official map that records parcel boundaries within a subdivision. It shows the lots, blocks, streets, and any easements, and is filed with the county to establish precise legal boundaries for each parcel. This document serves as the primary reference for surveys and property transfers, ensuring everyone agrees on where a lot ends and where public rights of way begin.

The other terms don’t describe this map: land acquisition is about obtaining property, dedication is giving land for public use (such as streets), and a federally related transaction refers to certain mortgage transactions with federal involvement, not to the parcel layout within a subdivision.
