*Professional Cost Deposits: are required on plat and site development/plan permit submissions requiring legal, engineer, and/or other professional service reviews or consultations.

The applicant should avail himself or herself of the advice and assistance of the Village's administrative officers, including its retained planning and engineering consultants (as applicable), and should consult early and informally with those officers and consultants before preparing a concept plan or any plat in order to save time and money, and to avoid potential unnecessary delays.
Prior to formal application for approval of any concept plan or plat, the applicant shall request and attend a mandatory pre-application conference with the appropriate Village official(s) in order to become familiar with the Village's development regulations and the subdivision process. At the pre-application conference, the applicant may be represented by his or her land planner, engineer and/or surveyor. No development right (if any) shall vest upon participation in any pre-application conferences.
The "official submission date" is the date upon which a complete application for approval of any type of plat, that contains all required elements mandated by the Texas Local Government Code, Section 212.004(b) and by the Subdivision Ordinance, is submitted to the Village Administrator, after which the statutory period required for approval or disapproval of the plat shall commence to run. No application shall be deemed officially submitted until the Village Administrator determines that the application is complete and a fee receipt is issued by the Village.
Plat applications which do not include all required information and materials, as outlined in the Subdivision Ordinance, will not be accepted for official submission by the Village, and will not be scheduled on an agenda until the proper information is provided to Village officials including the Village's retained planning and engineering consultants, if applicable.
The application shall include the application, along with the appropriate submission fee, the appropriate number of full-size folded (24" x 36") prints of the plat and an electronic copy of the plat in PDF format as required by the Village's current development review policies and requirements, a copy of any applicable development agreement pertaining to the subject property (if any), and any other applicable information and materials deemed appropriate by the Village. For additional requirements, please refer to pg. 19 of the Subdivision Ordinance.
A concept plan, sometimes referred to as a "preliminary site plan" or a "land study," is required, and submission and approval of a concept plan is the first step in the approval process for a residential or nonresidential development project.

For detailed information regarding the procedures and submission requirements for construction plat approval, please refer to Section 2.4 of the Subdivision Ordinance on pg. 24.
A minor plat shall meet all of the informational and procedural requirements set forth for a final plat, and shall be accompanied by the required number of copies of the plat, a completed application form, the required submission fee, and a certificate or some other acceptable form of verification from the Bell County Central Appraisal District showing that all taxes have been paid on the subject property and that no delinquent taxes exist against the property in accordance with Section 1.10 of the Subdivision Ordinance.

The final plat shall be in accordance with the construction plat, as approved (see Section 2.4.1 in the Subdivision Ordinance), and shall incorporate all applicable conditions, changes, directions and additions imposed by the Approval Authority upon the construction plat. The final plat shall not be approved until all utilities, infrastructure, and other required improvements have been constructed according to the engineering plans, as approved by the Village's Engineer, unless provisions are made for the completion of the improvements in accordance with Section 6 of the Subdivision Ordinance. The final plat shall not be submitted prior to approval of the construction plat (see Section 2.4 (C) of the Subdivision Ordinance for exception.). For detailed information regarding the procedures and submission requirements for construction plat approval, please refer to Section 2.4 of the Subdivision Ordinance on pg. 34.

For detailed information regarding the procedures and submission requirements for development plat approval, please refer to Section 2.7 of the Subdivision Ordinance on pg. 38.
Unless otherwise expressly provided in the Subdivision Ordinance, a property owner who proposes to replat any portion of an already approved and filed final plat, other than to amend or vacate the plat, must first obtain approval for the replat under the same standards and by the same procedures prescribed for final platting of land by this Ordinance. All improvements shall be constructed in accordance with the same requirements as for a construction or final plat, as provided in the Subdivision Ordinance. The Village Administrator may waive or modify requirements for a construction replat under certain circumstances where the proposed replat does not involve a large land parcel or an existing structure or business on the subject property, and where the proposed plat revisions are relatively simple in nature.
For detailed information regarding the procedures and submission requirements for replat approval, please refer to Section 2.8 of the Subdivision Ordinance on pg. 40.
For detailed information regarding the procedures and submission requirements for Plat Vacation approval, please refer to Section 2.10 of the Subdivision Ordinance on pg. 44.
