PROPERTY Surveys
The Cleveland County Planning Office is responsible for viewing and approving surveys (or plats) for subdivisions. Minor subdivisions create five (5) or fewer new lots whereas major subdivisions create more than five. The requirements for those differ and can be found here.
A subdivision plat must be reviewed and signed by the Planning Administrator and the Review Officer, and then be recorded in the Register of Deeds. The plat can be sent electronically for approval here, or they can also be brought to the Planning Office for approval before going to the Review Officer and finally the Register of Deeds. Electronic approval of any subdivision plat must be sent through a state approved electronic signature program. If you have any questions about surveys please email here or call our office.
ADDRESSING
Cleveland County Planning Office maintains addresses for all properties in Cleveland County outside of Shelby, Kings Mountain and Boiling Springs. Addresses are created for structures based on where the driveway touches the road and vacant properties will not be given addresses. If you have a question about an address please call the Planning Office and we can assist you.
