cases entitle the subdivider to approval of the final plat. After

to act thereon within such specified time shall be sufficient in lieu
of written endorsement of approval.
F.
The action of the Planning Commission shall be shown
on the final plat, with the date of action, over the signature of
the Chairman or Vice Chairman.

following the meeting of the Planning Commission at which the plat

service and utility easements, and land dedicated to public use. This
approval of the plat shall be shown over the signature of the Mayor

the subdivider shall provide the Planning Commission with two dark-line
prints thereof and one contact reproducible tracing on stable base
material. One dark-line print shall be retained in the permanent file
of the Planning Commission and one shall be sent to the office of
the City Clerk.

The applicant shall, within six months after the date
of approval by the City Council, record the original signed tracing
and a reduced copy in the dimensions of 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches
with the County Clerk. The County Clerk may require two additional
prints as provided by 11 O.S. § 41-108.[1]
When the plat or map is completed, it shall
be certified by a registered land surveyor and the owner or agent
who has prepared it. At or before the time of offering the plat or
map for record, the plat or map must be acknowledged before some person
authorized to take acknowledgment of deeds. A certificate of such
acknowledgment shall be endorsed on the plat or map. The certificate
of the survey and acknowledgment shall also be recorded and form a
part of the record.
A.
No plat or map may be accepted for record or be recorded
by the County Clerk unless it bears the certificate of the County
Treasurer of Canadian County certifying that:
(1)
All taxes for all previous years, which taxes have
been levied against the tract or parcel of land involving the plat,
including improvements thereon, have been paid; and
(2)
All taxes for the year during which the plat or map
is offered for record, which taxes shall be levied against the land
to be platted, excluding improvements thereon, have been paid; provided
that if the plat to be certified is a replat, or a plat within a plat,
the requirement set forth herein shall only apply to the extent that
the boundaries of the tracts or parcels of land which are the subject
of the replat or plat vary from the original plat.[1]
B.
The Canadian County Assessor shall determine the taxes
due for the year during which the plat is offered for record based
on the assessed value of the land to be platted, excluding all improvements
thereon; shall place the tax so determined on the tax rolls for that
year; and shall notify the County Treasurer of such taxes due. In
the event the taxes due have not been determined by the County Assessor
as required in this section or the County Treasurer has not been notified
of the taxes due on the land to be platted, excluding all improvements
thereon, then the owner of the property to be platted, whether in
whole or in part, or his agent submitting the plat for record, shall
make a security deposit in cash with the County Treasurer or a bond
executed by a bonding company authorized to do business in the State
of Oklahoma. The security deposit or bond shall be in an amount equal
to:
(1)
The sum charged upon the last tax rolls in the office
of the County Treasurer against the tract or parcel of land involving
the plat, whether in whole or in part, excluding all improvements
thereon; and
(2)
Twenty-five percent of the sum of such taxes as assurance
against increase of tax charges for the taxable year in which the
plat is offered.
C.
The security deposit or bond shall be held by the
County Treasurer until the tax rolls for the county have been made
up for the taxable year and the tax charge against the tract, excluding
all improvements thereon, has become fixed. Upon the payment of all
the tax so charged, or applied thereto out of the cash deposit, the
remainder of the deposit shall be refunded or the bond released.
D.
After the Planning Commission and the City Council
have approved the final plat, no change shall be made therein unless
said plat is resubmitted for approval of the Planning Commission and
City Council. The final plat shall be filed in the office of the County
Clerk within six months after approval of the City Council, and if
not filed within such time, said approval shall be considered null
and void.
