Which term refers to a map or layout of improvements on a property site?

  1. Plot

  2. Plat

  3. Voluntary lein

  4. Involuntary lein

The correct answer is: Plat

The correct term for a map or layout of improvements on a property site is "plat." A plat is a detailed drawing that illustrates how land is subdivided into lots, showing the boundaries, easements, and locations of buildings and other improvements. This term is commonly used in real estate when referring to either existing subdivisions or proposed developments, as it helps stakeholders visualize the layout and spatial relationships of the property. The other terms do not pertain to the layout or mapping of property. A "plot" can refer to a specific piece of land but doesn't carry the same implication of a formalized, detailed layout as a plat. "Voluntary lien" and "involuntary lien" refer to legal claims against property, which are unrelated to the mapping or physical layout of improvements on the property.
