Whether you're a land developer, home builder, or property owner, subdivision and replatting are critical steps in managing land for future use. These processes ensure land is divided properly, aligns with zoning laws, and meets all local and state regulations.
At Midpoint Surveying and Mapping, we specialize in subdivision surveys and replatting services, providing accurate mapping, compliance support, and expert guidance to make your project a success. From creating new residential communities to adjusting existing property boundaries, our professional surveyors ensure every detail is correct.
Subdivision is the process of dividing a larger piece of land into smaller lots, typically for residential, commercial, or industrial development. This process is necessary when:
🏡 Developing a new neighborhood
– Creating a community with multiple housing lots.
📍Dividing land among family members
– Splitting a property into separate ownership parcels.
🏗 Commercial or industrial expansion
– Allocating land for business development.
🔍 Land investment purposes
– Preparing property for resale in smaller sections.
A subdivision survey includes precise lot measurements, boundary verification, and compliance with city planning requirements.
Replatting is the process of modifying an existing subdivision by combining or altering lot lines. This is commonly done when:
📌 Adjusting property boundaries
– Moving or resizing a lot within a subdivision.
🏠 Merging multiple lots
– Combining two or more lots into one larger property.
⚖ Correcting property issues
– Resolving survey discrepancies or outdated plat records.
📜 Meeting new zoning regulations
– Bringing a property into compliance with current zoning laws.
The replatting process requires approval from local municipalities and may involve public notices, hearings, and city council reviews.
