A certified plot plan is a stamped drawing, drawn to a measurable scale by a state registered engineer or a state registered land surveyor. It shows a piece of land, its boundary lines, total square footage, and locates all the existing structures on the land. (i.e. houses, decks, pools, garages, fences, driveways, sheds, parking spaces etc.)
