What this form is
The four-page application collects subdivision and property details, identifies the owner or applicant and licensed engineer or surveyor, and records the owner’s agreement to comply with Bulverde’s platting requirements and pay applicable fees. The city’s checklist lists materials and fees for initial review, including plat drawings and supporting documents. A separate letter of authorization is required when someone other than the property owner will submit or amend documents on the owner’s behalf.
Who needs it
Property owners applying for a development plat in Bulverde need this form; an owner allowing another person or entity to act on their behalf also completes its authorization letter.
