Why Subdivisional Surveys Matter Before You Submit Anything
Subdivision approval is strict. Counties reject plats for incorrect lot dimensions, closure errors, missing easements, or noncompliance with zoning rules — and every rejection adds one to two months to your project timeline.
Many jurisdictions also charge $200–$350 for additional reviews after the first submittal.
While you wait, your project incurs carrying costs: interest on acquisition loans, taxes, delayed lot sales, and postponed construction. A “simple” plat correction can ripple through an entire development schedule.
Subdivision mistakes are not clerical errors. They are avoidable delays that cost real money.
What’s Included
A subdivisional survey establishes legally accurate lot boundaries and prepares the plats required for planning and zoning approval.
We verify measurements against your deed, confirm acreage and closure, and ensure the layout complies with county subdivision regulations.
Deliverables typically include:
- Measured boundary and parcel data
- Lot dimensions and acreage verification
- Roadway, right-of-way, and easement identification
- Setback and zoning requirement integration
- Filing-ready subdivision plats for review and recordation
We coordinate with engineers, planners, and county reviewers so your plat is accurate before it ever goes to the approval desk.
What Happens When Plats Are Wrong
A rejected plat restarts the review clock. Each revision can add 30–60 days, and some counties won’t reconsider a “substantially similar” denied plat for up to one year.
These delays push back construction starts, builder contracts, and every future closing tied to the project.
Getting the plat right the first time keeps your development moving.
