Property Ownership

In Florida, a 'dedication by plat' vs. a 'statutory dedication' differs in that:

AStatutory dedication requires compensation while plat dedication does not
BPlat dedication is shown on the recorded subdivision plat while statutory dedication involves a separate deed or document✓ Correct
CPlat dedication is for parks only while statutory dedication is for roads
DThere is no functional difference — both convey the same rights

Explanation

A dedication by plat occurs when a developer shows public streets, parks, and easements on the recorded subdivision plat — a map recording process. Statutory dedication is a separate document (deed or declaration) dedicating land to the public. Plat dedications are automatic upon recording and acceptance by the governing authority, while statutory dedications are separate written instruments.
