Vacation of plat by written agreement of owners
Official statutory text
A. Any plat of a municipality or addition thereto or any
subdivision of land may be vacated by the owners thereof at any time
before the sale of any lots therein by a written instrument
declaring the same to be vacated, duly executed, acknowledged or
proved and recorded in the same office with the plat to be vacated.
The executing and recording of the written instrument, bearing the
approval or consent of the municipality in which the plat is
situated, shall operate to destroy the force and effect of the
recording of the plat so vacated, and to divest all public rights in
the public ways, commons, and public grounds laid out as described
in the plat.
B. Where any lots in the plat sought to be vacated have been
sold, the plat or a portion thereof may be vacated as provided in
subsection A of this section, provided that the owners of sixty
percent (60%) of the lots in the plat and all of the owners in the
area to be vacated join in the execution of the written instrument,
the instrument bears the approval of the municipality in which the
plat is situated, and such action is not prohibited by any
restrictive covenants encumbering the lots in plat.
C. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any plat of record
in the office of the county clerk in the county in which the real
property is situated, for a period of not less than ten (10) years,
which bears the approval of the municipality in which the real
property is situated, which replats an existing plat, or a portion
thereof, shall be deemed a lawful replatting of any plat, or portion
thereof, thereby vacating the plat, or a portion thereof, which is
replatted.
D. This section shall not be construed as applying to any of
the territory included within the limits of any incorporated
municipality created and organized under and by virtue of a special
act of the Legislature.
