Cadastral board, Cedar City office

Flag the corner. Chain the line. Record the Platted

KGHH Properties LLC keeps a land parcels desk at 457 N 400 W Unit 4, Cedar City - 84721-5146, United States (US), where computer integrated systems design meets the slow paperwork of the county recording office. We survey lots, file plats, walk boundaries and steward parcels for owners who want their ground to be legible in every cabinet, every database and every corner flag. Read the full parcels desk method and see how a plat moves from field to file

Our team treats a parcel as a system: a survey drawing, a filing receipt, a stewardship calendar and a recording trail that agree with one another. When those parts drift apart, we bring them back into line before a sale, a loan, a family transfer or a boundary question turns into a long argument.

Six furrows of the parcels desk

Each service runs as a long field row rather than a short card. Read the whole line before you call the office.

Lot Survey Desk

The lot survey desk is where a parcel first becomes measurable. We collect the deed description, the prior plat, any recorded easement language and the county parcel number, then reconcile them into one working set of lines that a field crew and a records clerk can both read without confusion.

That desk work also covers computer integrated systems design tasks: encoding the boundary geometry, tying it to the assessor identifier and keeping an internal index that survives staff changes. See how the survey desk is organised

Plat Filing Rounds

A plat filing round is a scheduled sweep through the recording office, not a single errand. We prepare the submittal set, check the signature blocks, confirm the surveyor seal, and then carry the sheets to the counter with a receipt log that names every page and every fee.

After filing we return the stamped copies to the owner file and update the parcel index so the next reader finds the right instrument on the first try. Review the filing round schedule

Parcel Stewardship Weeks

Stewardship weeks are the quiet maintenance that keeps a parcel file trustworthy over years. We check that the ownership record, the mailing address and the tax roll still agree, and we note any split, combination or correction that has been proposed but not yet recorded.

Owners receive a short written summary at the close of each stewardship week, listing what changed, what is pending and what needs a signature. Read what a stewardship week includes

Boundary Walk Checks

A boundary walk check compares the paper line to the ground line. We walk the perimeter with the plat in hand, record monument conditions, photograph displaced stakes and note encroachments such as fences, sheds or driveway edges that sit off the recorded line.

The result is a plain field note with numbered observations, so an owner or an attorney can follow the walk without needing a survey vocabulary. Understand the boundary walk process

Easement Review Days

Easement review days are set aside for reading the instruments that cross a parcel. We trace utility corridors, access strips and drainage rights back to their recorded source, then sketch where each one lands on the current lot drawing.

When a description is vague or refers to a document that no longer matches the ground, we flag the gap clearly rather than guessing at a width or a route. See how easement review is documented

Recording Office Evenings

Recording office evenings are reserved for the paperwork that must be lodged before a deadline. We assemble the instrument, check names and legal descriptions, pay the recording fee and collect the return copy with the official stamp and instrument number.

The evening ends with a filed copy in the owner folder, a scanned copy in the parcel index and a note of the next date that matters. Follow one recording evening in detail

The winter plat filing window opens in the first cold week of December and closes when the recording counter shutters for the holiday break, so owners who expect a spring transfer should bring their submittal set to the desk before the ground freezes.

How a parcel moves through the desk

Intake and reading

Every enquiry begins at the lot survey desk. We ask for the deed, the last recorded plat and any survey the owner already holds. From those three documents we build a reading sheet that lists the parcel, the described area, the appurtenant easements and the open questions. Nothing is measured until the paper is understood.

Field confirmation

A boundary walk check follows, with corner monuments tied to the plat geometry. The crew records what is found rather than what is expected. Where a monument is missing, the field note says so in plain words, and the desk decides whether a corner re-set is needed or whether the prior record is enough for the purpose at hand.

Filing and stewardship

Once the drawing agrees with the ground, the plat filing round carries the sheets to the county and returns them stamped. A stewardship week then folds the new instrument into the parcel index so the record stays whole for the next reader, whether that reader is an owner, a lender or a title examiner.

Why an independent parcels desk matters

Most boundary trouble starts as a filing gap rather than a field error. A plat is approved but never carried to the counter. An easement is signed but the description points to a document that was later replaced. A parcel split is drawn on a napkin and never recorded, so the tax roll and the land disagree for a decade. KGHH Properties LLC exists to close those gaps before they compound.

The desk is deliberately small and slow in the right places. We do not promise overnight boundary work, and we do not pretend that a database record can replace a monument in the ground. What we do promise is that every lot survey line, every plat filing round, every stewardship week, every boundary walk check, every easement review day and every recording office evening ends with a written trail that someone else can audit. Federal, state and county practice shapes that trail, and our computer integrated systems design background keeps the digital side of the parcel index as careful as the paper side.

Owners who work with us usually start with one question about a fence, a shared driveway or an old family division. They leave with a file that answers the question and anticipates the next three. That is the whole point of a cadastral board: the ground is honest, and the record should be honest too.
