A plat map, also known as a “plat,” shows you how a tract of land is divided into lots in your county. It is drawn to scale and records the land’s size, boundary locations, nearby streets, flood zones, and any easements or rights of way.

The CC&Rs are the rules and guidelines that dictate how the property can be used, developed, and operated. The declaration of covenants is usually created by the property's developer, builder, or a government agency to ensure that the property is used and maintained in a specific manner. The CC&Rs may cover a wide range of topics, such as architectural guidelines, landscaping requirements, parking regulations, and noise restrictions.

The soils map shows the layout of the permitted layouts of the septic systems taking into account the lot layouts and potential home orientation and well locations.
