Preliminary Certified Survey Map and Certified Survey Map

A Certified Survey Map (CSM) is a map of a proposed land division prepared by a registered land surveyor. CSMs are required for land divisions that create one to four parcels where one of more of the parcels is less than thirty-five acres. Land divisions creating five or more lots generally require a subdivision plat.

The following situations do not require a CSM:

  • Transfers of interests in land by will or pursuant to a court order.
  • Leases for a term not to exceed ten years, mortgages or easements.
  • Sale or exchanges of land between adjoining property, if additional lots are not created.

When a CSM is approved, it is the property owners responsibility as the applicant to have it filed and recorded with the Dane County Register of Deeds. It is important to note that the approval of a CSM does not constitute approval to build or alter structures. Any building construction or alteration will also require a zoning permit and any other permits required by the state, county, or local government.

Additional Pleasant Springs Instructions: 

  1. The "Driveway Placement Form" must be completed, approved and signed by a Public Works staff member and submitted to the Clerk prior to submitting the application for approval of a Preliminary Certified Survey Map. Set up an appointment with the Public Works staff by calling 205-9169. The staff is available Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
  2. The Preliminary Certified Survey Map will be placed on the Plan Commission agenda for review and action when the Town receives a copy of the map from Dane County Zoning. The Town Board will also review the map and forward requested changes to Dane County Zoning.
  3. The  final Certified Survey Map will be placed on the Plan Commission agenda for review and action when the town receives a copy of the map from Dane County Zoning. Final approval of a rezone will be contingent on Town Board approval of the Certified Survey Map. The Certified Survey Map must include any required restriction and/or conditions, show driveway placement and include a Certificate of Town Board Approval.
