MOHAVE COUNTY ORDINANCE NO. 2003-02
AN ORDINANCE SETTING FORTH AN AMENDMENT OF SECTION 3.11.0 OF THE
MOHAVE COUNTY LAND DIVISION REGULATIONS, REGARDING SUBMISSION OF
STATE PERMITS AND APPROVALS
Section 3.11.0 of the Mohave County Land Division Regulations is amended as follows:
Final Plat
3.11 Final Plat
A. Purpose.
The final plat serves as the legal document that, upon recordation, establishes the official survey
and platting of a subdivision. The final plat shall include all detail necessary to accurately and
completely establish the lots, parcels, rights-of-way, easements, common areas, street names and
numbering, dimensions, bearings, and monumentation of all elements included in the subdivision
design, and shall also effect the dedication of any public roadways or parcels, any private
roadways or parcels, and the granting of any easements.
B. Final Plat Processing.
1. The initial submittal of a final plat of a subdivision, or final plats for phases thereof, must
be submitted for processing within one (1) year following the approval of a preliminary
plat by the Board of Supervisors, or within one (1) year of any extended approval of the
preliminary plat.
2. Final Plats shall be prepared by or under the direction and supervision of a qualified
surveyor and an engineer, both registered in the State of Arizona, and shall be issued
under their seals and signatures.
3. The layout and design of the subdivision final plat shall not vary from the approved
preliminary plat, except for allowable minor platting adjustments. These may include the
correction of dimensions, bearings, and other technical information; the addition to or the
deletion from the plat of minor easements; or other similar minor adjustments, which in
the determination of the Planning Director do not adversely impact or materially affect
the subdivision design.
4. For each proposed phase in an approved tract, a separate final plat must be submitted for
review and processing.
5. Final plats shall be submitted in progressive order, for each proposed phase in the
subdivision, using an alphabetical suffix starting with the letter "A," and with each final
plat using the basic, assigned tract number. Subphasing of subdivisions, e.g., "Tract
1234-Al,"is prohibited by these regulations.

6. The final plat shall be prepared in accordance with these regulations and any other
applicable regulation, ordinance, state, or federal law.
7. The applicant shall submit the final plat to the Planning Director, along with all necessary
supporting documentation and review fees. Processing of the final plat will not begin
until the Planning Director has received all required plats, documents, and fees, as
outlined under Chapter 3.11.C. That date shall be considered the official start date of the
review of the final plat.
8. Incomplete submittals will not be distributed for review. If the Planning Director
determines that a submittal is incomplete, the Director shall return the submittal to the
applicant, including, as a courtesy to the applicant, an itemization of any remaining
documents necessary to complete the submittal.
9. The county shall have forty-five (45) calendar days to review the final plat and distribute
final plat submittals for review to other departments and agencies. All non-county
agencies reviewing final plats will have a minimum of fifteen(15)working days to return
review comments to the county. The county will forward all comments received to the
developer or their engineer. The developer is responsible for compliance with any
requirement of an outside agency, whether that agency has commented within the time
period or not.
10. At the end of the review period, all comments forwarded to the Planning Director by all
requisite agencies shall be compiled and mailed to the applicant. The Director shall, in
this review letter, notify the applicant of any changes, additions, deletions, or other
corrections necessary. The applicant shall submit a corrected Final Plat and any required
supporting documentation to address the comments and issues of the review.
