Approval of County Commissioners
According to Idaho Code, If a subdivision is not within the corporate limits of a city (and this includes city areas of impact), “the plat thereof shall be submitted, accepted and approved by the Board of Commissioners of the county in which the tract is located”.
The County Commissioners normally sign the Approval after the County Surveyor has signed the final plat. However, this is not always the case, and any exceptions must be arranged with the Planning staff, who will coordinate the signing with the County Surveyor.
Review
· Does it state in the wording of the certificate that the plat was “accepted and approved”?
· Is the spelling in the Certificate correct?
· If the Certificate is not “generic”, are the names included current and correct?
