Subdivision Survey

It is a type of land survey that involves dividing a parcel of land into two or more smaller lots, typically for the purpose of development, sale, or legal recognition. It includes the layout of lots, streets, easements, and utility corridors, and results in the creation of a subdivision plat that must be approved by local authorities.

This survey is essential for transforming large land tracts into legal, marketable individual lots.

Importance of a Subdivision Survey:

1. Legal Lot Creation:

   • Establishes legally recognized property boundaries for each new lot within the subdivision.

2. Compliance with Zoning and Planning Regulations:

   • Ensures that the subdivision meets local government standards for lot size, street access, drainage, and utility placement.

3. Supports Land Development Projects:

   • Provides a framework for residential, commercial, or industrial development, guiding infrastructure layout and land use planning.

4. Facilitates Real Estate Transactions:

   • Makes it possible to sell or transfer individual lots with clear titles and accurate descriptions.

5. Infrastructure Planning and Design:

   • Allows engineers and planners to properly design roads, sidewalks, sewer lines, water supply, and other public services.
