Any partition of land in the City of Norfolk must be accomplished by plat and must meet the requirements of the zoning and subdivision chapters of the City Code of Norfolk. These codes require that a preliminary plat be prepared and reviewed by the Departments of Public Works, Utilities, Planning, and the Real Estate Assessor. After preliminary approval has been obtained, a final plat must be prepared by a licensed surveyor and submitted for approval and recordation by the City.
