The law requires that <br /> all counties appoint a Review Officer to review each map and plat required to be submitted for <br /> review before the map is presented to the register of deeds for recording (NCGS 47-30.2). The <br /> Review Officer shall certify the map or plat if it complies with all statutory requirements for <br /> recording. Each person designated a Review Officer shall, if reasonably feasible, be certified as a <br /> property mapper pursuant to NCGS 147-54.4. The legislation becomes effective October 1, 1997. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the attached <br /> resolution: 1) appointing certified property mappers from the Land Records/GIS Office to be <br /> Review Officers for Orange County; and 2) stating the form of the certification by the Review <br /> Officer. <br />
