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.
