Land Use Planning and Permitting

A “final map” is used when subdividing land into five or more parcels, while a “parcel map” is used when dividing land into four or fewer parcels; essentially, a final map represents a major subdivision, while a parcel map represents a minor subdivision. 

“plat map” is a general term for a map showing property boundaries.

A “plan” is a sketch or drawing showing details of proposed construction.
