RPA plats

There are three types of  RPA plats reviews:

1.  Staff approved plats:  Any division or revision of lots less than five lots with no needed variances or new public streets.   These plats do not go to the Planning Commission.  To submit for review email a PDF of the plat and the Autocad file to the Hamilton County Geospatial Office for review at sdreview@hamiltontn.gov.  Review times are typically 10 business days.

2. Minor plats:  Subdivisions of 6-10 lots.  Requires Planning Commision approval.  Plat can be submitted as a combination Preliminary/Final Plat to the Planning Commission.  To submit send plat and supporting documents to subdivision@chattanooga.gov.  Subdivision plat submittals are due by the third Monday of the month.

3. Major Plats:  Subdivisions of more than 10 lots.  Requires Planning Commission approval.  Preliminary Plat and Final Plat are required to be submitted separately.   To submit send plat and supporting documents to subdivision@chattanooga.gov.  Subdivision plat submittals are due by the third Monday of the month.
