Re: plans and plat

Hi Liz,  Since you just bought your home in 2006, you should have gotten a 
plat or site plan at the closing.  They call it a location survey.  It is not an 
official survey for a fence or adding a structure, but it shows where your 
house sits on the lot.  All of the attorneys I know provide these for new home 
buyers at the settlement table. Of course the buyer does pay for them and they 
cost about 300$ and are part of the closing costs.  If you have your closing 
statement and you see a fee for a survey, it means you got one.  If you can't 
find it, you can call your closing attorney and they will have a copy in their 
files.  Gerry is right about the land records in Upper Marlboro.  If you have 
time to go down there and do research it is very interesting and fun.  They 
won't have any copy of plans but if you can trace your history back to the very 
beginning, you may find who built your home and get some info that way.  There 
are also some historical groups that have info, but I don't have the contact 
info at my fingertips.  Hope this helps.
Audrey
