Sacramento County Municipal Code Ch. 22.400 Plats of Survey

A plat of survey may be filed whenever a survey establishes or marks on the ground, one or more corners, angle points or lines which do not appear on any map previously recorded or filed and which disclose any of the matters described in subdivisions (a) through (d) of Section 8762 of the Business and Professions Code. The plat shall conform to the requirements of Chapter 15 of Division 3 of the Business and Professions Code and this chapter, and shall be filed within 90 days after the establishment or marking of the corners, angle points or lines. No plat or survey need be filed if the engineer or surveyor files a final map of a subdivision, a record of survey, or a final parcel map.
