Lot Split

A Lot Split Survey is a specialized service that subdivides an existing parcel of land into two or more legal lots, in accordance with local zoning, subdivision, and land use regulations. Unlike a standard boundary survey, this process involves not only the measurement and marking of property lines, but also the creation of new legal parcels that must be reviewed and approved by governing agencies.

The survey typically includes:

• Research of the parent parcel’s legal description, deed, and recorded plats.

• Field survey of the property to establish boundaries, corners, and relevant site features.

• Preparation of a Lot Split Plat (or Minor Land Division Map) that depicts the proposed new lot lines, dimensions, access points, and any required easements.

• Coordination with local jurisdictional requirements, which may include planning department or municipal review, zoning checks, and conformance with subdivision ordinances.

• Setting new monuments to define the corners of the split parcels once the division is approved.

This service is commonly used for:

• Property owners dividing a large parcel into smaller tracts for sale, development, or family conveyance.

• Developers and builders preparing multiple lots for construction projects.

• Real estate transactions where a parcel must be divided to facilitate transfer or financing.

• Estate planning where land is being split among heirs or business partners.

Important Notes:

• A Lot Split Survey requires approval from the applicable city, county, or municipal agency. Processing times, submittal fees, and regulatory requirements vary by jurisdiction.

• This service does not guarantee approval of the proposed split — compliance with zoning, minimum lot size, frontage, and access requirements must first be verified.

• Once the split is approved, the final plat or legal description is recorded with the county recorder’s office to officially establish the new parcels.
