Indiana Code Title 36. Local Government § 36-7-3-7

Sec. 7. (a) In making a survey of a municipality under this chapter, a professional surveyor shall adhere as nearly as possible to boundary lines between tracts.  If the owners of adjacent tracts do not agree on the location of the boundary line between them, the professional surveyor shall give all interested parties ten (10) days' notice that, at a specified time, the professional surveyor will establish the boundary line.  The line established is the correct boundary line, but an aggrieved party may appeal from the survey in the same manner as is provided by IC 36-2-12-14 for an appeal from a survey made by a county surveyor.  However, an appeal does not delay the completion of the survey and plat.

(b) All public ways shall be preserved and properly designated on the plat.

(c) Each specific description shall be platted as one (1) lot and given a distinct number on the plat, except that where a part of the specific description is cut off by a street or alley, the tract may be given two (2) or more distinct numbers, as required by the situation.

(d) If any part of the entire tract to be platted is cut up into blocks by streets or alleys, the tract shall be platted in lots extending from the street or alley in the front to the alley in the rear.

(e) If a lot embraces more than one (1) specific description, the memoranda attached to the plat must designate how much of the lot belongs to each of the part owners.

(f) A person owning a tract that is within the boundaries of the territory to be platted and is larger than an ordinary lot may have that tract subdivided into lots of convenient size in the making of the plat.

(g) The professional surveyor shall show on the plat the exact size and shape, the number, and the name of the owner (as determined from the records of the county), of each lot platted, and shall attach to the plat, as a part of it, a brief memorandum of the tract description of each lot platted.

(h) The professional surveyor shall sign the plat and acknowledge its execution before an officer authorized to take the acknowledgment of deeds.  When the survey and plat are completed, the professional surveyor shall file them with the municipal clerk.  The professional surveyor shall also file with the professional surveyor's report of the survey and plat an itemized statement of all costs and expenses incident to the proceedings, and an apportionment of the expenses to the lots platted, as required by section 9 of this chapter.
