Platting is the step that converts raw land into sellable lots. Tracking plat applications reveals new subdivisions entering the pipeline, which sections of a master-planned community are being platted next, what product types the developer is planning based on lot sizes, and when roads and utilities will be built. Unlike rezoning (which may be speculative), platting involves significant engineering investment and indicates near-term development activity.
Maryland sets the regulatory framework that governs how plat decisions are made at the county and municipal level. State statutes define zoning authority, hearing requirements, and appeal processes that directly affect plat outcomes in Baltimore.
