Subdivision / Replat

A “Subdivision Plat” subdivides a property into two or more parcels whereas a “Replat” typically relocates previously platted boundary lines.  Both plats can create easements and dedicate right-of-way, if necessary or if required by the governing authority.  The survey results in a plat (map) depicting the new lots and/or property line locations being filed for record in the County Clerk’s Office upon approval by the governing authority. The Subdivision Plat and/or Replat is created in accordance with the subdivision regulations of the controlling governmental entity whether a city, county or state.  The dedication of easements, additional right-of- way and land for public parks may be required for approval. Your property may be subject to a city’s subdivision regulations even if you are not within its corporate boundaries but are within its extra-territorial jurisdiction (ETJ).  The ETJ is an area that can range from one half mile to five miles from the existing corporate limits depending on the population of the city.  The intent of the ETJ is to allow the city to control development of area which can reasonably be expected to be annexed in the foreseeable future. A number of exceptions exist by state law which may exempt your property from the subdivision process.  Contact Delta Land Surveying to discuss the project and what will and will not require a formal subdivision plat and/or replat.  Once we have determined that the proposed subdivision will require platting we will send you an Adobe pdf Authorization Form defining the scope of work to be completed and the cost.  You can then complete form, sign and email back to get the project started.
