Title

Permission to Advertise for Amendment to Land Development Regulations, Indian River County Code Section 913.07(6), Removing Title Insurance Companies from Certifying Title on Final Plats

Recommended Action

Staff recommends the Board: (1) authorize staff to advertise the amendment to IRC Code Section 913.07(6) and eliminate title companies from certifying title on plats in unincorporated Indian River County, allowing only Florida licensed attorneys to certify title on a plat, and (2) enact the Pending Ordinance Doctrine so the requirement of only attorneys certifying title on a plat will apply to those developments that will submit or have submitted an application for final plat approval while the ordinance amendment is being considered.
