Description
AFFIDAVIT FOR PURPOSE OF ILLINOIS PLAT ACT REQUIREMENTS. This Affidavit informs the Recorders Office if the property is being divided or not. It also informs the Assessor’s Office as to what exemption to the Plat Act is being exercised. Whenever the owner of land subdivides it into 2 or more parts, any of which is less than 5 acres, he must have it surveyed and a subdivision plat thereof made by an Illinois Registered Land Surveyor pursuant to Chapter 765 ILCS 205/1(a). If a plat is made by an Illinois Registered Surveyor of any parcel or tract of land otherwise exempt from the plat provisions of this Act such plat shall be recorded pursuant to 765 ILCS 205/1(c). When a property is divided into parcels so that it cannot be described without describing it by metes and bounds, it is the duty of the owner to have the land surveyed and platted into lots. The platting shall be in accord with the Plat Act. The plat shall be certified and recorded pursuant to 35 ILCS 200/9-55. Section 205/5a of the Plat Act states: “The Recorder or the Registrar of Title of any County shall not record deeds or leases which attempt to convey property contrary to the provisions of this Act. In case of doubt, the Recorder or the Registrar of Title of any County may require the person presenting such deed or lease to give evidence of the legality of a conveyance by an affidavit as to the facts which exempt such conveyance from the provisions of this Act” In order for the Recorders Office to follow the duties and guidelines required as outlined in the State Plat Act, it is necessary to require submission of this Affidavit form with every deed submitted for recording. www.FormsWorkflow.com
