The Stormwater Engineering Division works with the Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC) to review final survey plats for site development and construction within the City of Knoxville. The plat review process is summarized in Figure 2-3 of the Land Development Manual, with further information given in Chapter 4 and several of the policies in Appendix C. The Stormwater Engineering Division uses the Plat Review Checklist (in Appendix A of Land Development Manual) to review survey plats.

The Civil Engineering Division and KGIS have established an interactive mapping website for city survey control points. The website allows the internet user to locate the nearest survey control points, print survey control data, print maps, compute bearings and distances between points, etc.

KGIS maintains a comprehensive user-friendly interactive mapping website called KnoxnetWhere? with a wide variety of information for each parcel (property ownership, addresses, zoning, CLT map numbers, parcel IDs, school zones, buildings, streets, districts, wards, recorded deed references, political boundaries, city limits, voting precincts) that can be viewed and printed.

Final plat requirements are fully described in the Minimum Subdivision Regulations, which are maintained by the Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC). Section 44-92.2 of the Minimum Subdivision Regulations establishes various requirements for subdivisions to be tied into the city survey control system.
