A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO ALLOW PLATS OF REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENTS TO BE PRESENTED TO THE REGISTER OF DEEDS FOR REGISTRATION OR RECORD BEFORE ALL CORNERS IN THE DEVELOPMENT ARE PERMANENTLY MARKED.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 39-32.3 reads as rewritten:
"§ 39-32.3. Recordation of plat showing control corners.
Upon designating a control corner and affixing a permanent  marker, said person, firm or corporation shall cause to be filed in the office of the register of deeds of the county in which the real estate development is located a map or plat showing the location of the control corner or corners and permanent marker or markers with adequate and sufficient description to enable a surveyor to locate such control corner or marker. The register of deeds shall not accept for registration or record any map or plat of a real estate subdivision or development made after July 1, 1947, unless the location of such control corner or corners is shown thereon.  However, it shall not be necessary that metal stakes or other permanent markings be in place at all subdivided lot corners in the development prior to acceptance by the register of deeds for registration or record."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification and applies to all plats presented for registration or record on or after that date.
