What do you call a map or plan made for a transaction that divides one piece of property into one or more lots, or that alters existing property boundaries, etc.? Ideally, it would be a word that is not country-specific, as the first thing that comes to my mind has to do with 'survey' but according to OED the main definition of survey in BE would be what I would call 'appraisal' in AE. Please correct me if I'm wrong...
Thanks!
Thanks!

subdivision map/plan
How about that? It seems general enough and pretty self-explanatory

cadastral map / plan
It sounds as though this may be what you're looking for. In the US it can be called a plat, but you say you want something non-country-specific.
"A plat (/ˈplæt/[1] or /ˈplɑːt/[2]) in the U.S. (plan or cadastral map) is a map, drawn to scale, showing the divisions of a piece of land."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plat
"Cadastral surveys document the boundaries of land ownership, by the production of documents, diagrams, sketches, plans (plats in USA), charts, and maps."

I understand. Site plan is not quite right for you, I think, since it shows not only the boundaries but a lot of detail ("building footprint, travelways, parking, drainage facilities, sanitary sewer lines, water lines, trails, lighting, and landscaping and garden elements")
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_plan
But if it's a simpler plan of the site basically just showing the positions of the property boundaries, I think perhaps site division plan or property division plan might work. There is also site location plan, though I think this is more of a UK term.

Note from asker:
Thanks for your speedy response :) I hesitate to use this because it applies to a large area of land with various plots. The project I'm working on already contains this as a separate term. I need something that applies to only one plot/lot |
Discussion
a) a surveyor is drawing up the map
b) Mike's description for Poland is more or less spot on for Slovakia, too
