A subdivision plats is a map of a proposed or existing subdivision. It shows the division of land into lots, streets, and other features. In Oklahoma City, plats are used for both new subdivisions and for replats of existing ones.
To create a new subdivision, developers must first submit a preliminary plat to the city planning department for review. This plat must show the proposed layout of the subdivision, including lot sizes and dimensions, street widths and alignments, easements, rights-of-way, and other features. The planning department may approve the preliminary plat and return it to the developer with a list of necessary corrections. After making the corrections, the developer must then submit an acceptable final plat for city council approval.

Easements
Subdivision easements are used to provide access to individual lots. The size of the subdivision easement is determined by the legal description of the property. The subdivision easement runs through the center of the property. Usually, a public street runs along one side of the subdivision. The other lots are accessed from the public street. The subdivider has responsibility for maintaining and repairing all streets within the subdivision. The subdividing county or municipality can require the subdivider to maintain and repair the subdivision streets.
