A~ After the resurvey project has been completed, the Board of County Commissioners of each affected county will review the plat. Upon agreeing on the location of the county line, the Commissioners must pass a resolution that the plat is the true definition of the line's location, as provided by GS 153A-18(a). Upon ratification of the survey by the board of commissioners of each county, a map showingL the surveyed boundaryshall be recorded in the office of the register of deeds of each county in the manner provided by law for the recordation of maps or plats and in the Secretar~of State's office. The map shall contain a reference to the date of each resolution of ratification and to the page in the minutes of each board of commissioners where the resolution may be found. Upon recordation, the map 'is conclusive as to the location of the boundary. After all parts of GS 153A-18(a) are met, the plat becomes a legal document defining the county line location. NCGS will prepare all the necessary plats and Mylar drawings and will record the resurvey with the North Carolina Department of the Secretary of State. In addition, NCGS will supply each affected county with the Mylar drawings for recordation. Changing the location of a County Boundary The following statutory provision governs changes in existing county boundaries. This should be distinguished from locating an uncertain boundary as provided by General Statute 153A-18(a): G.S. §153A-17. Existing boundaries The boundaries of each county shall remain as presently established, until changed in accordance with law. (1973, c. 822, s. 1.) If the counties elect to have a new line surveyed and to change the County line from its original location (as defined by law) then ratification by the North Carolina General Assembly is required.
