Platting & Re-Platting
Subdivision plats, replats, and amending plats carried from survey through city or county approval to the county clerk's records.
About this service.
Any time land is divided, combined, or its lot lines changed, Texas law and local ordinances usually require a plat. Municipalities regulate platting under Chapter 212 of the Local Government Code and counties under Chapter 232, and each city and county layers its own subdivision ordinance on top.
We prepare preliminary and final plats, replats, amending plats, and minor plats to the standards of the jurisdiction involved, including Bryan, College Station, and the surrounding counties. That means the boundary survey, the plat drawing, the dedication language, utility and drainage easements, and the submittal package for planning and zoning review.
Our team tracks the application through staff comments and commission approval and records the approved plat with the county clerk, so the project ends with a recorded document, not a stack of revisions.
When you need one
- Splitting a tract into lots for sale or development
- Combining lots or moving a lot line between neighbors
- A city or county tells you a plat is required for a building permit
- Correcting an error or changing an easement on a recorded plat
What you receive
- Boundary survey and plat drawing prepared to local ordinance standards
- Dedication, easement, and certification language for all required signatures
- Submittal package and coordination with planning, engineering, and utility reviewers
- Revisions through staff comments and commission approval
- Recording with the county clerk and recorded copies delivered to you
Plat timelines are set largely by the review schedule of the city or county. We give you a realistic calendar once we know the jurisdiction and the type of plat.
Where we provide it
Frequently requested in these service areas. Licensed statewide, so larger projects anywhere in Texas are welcome.
Common questions
A replat changes a recorded subdivision — lot lines, easements, or the number of lots — and generally goes through public review. An amending plat corrects minor errors or makes limited changes that the law allows to be approved administratively. We advise which one your situation calls for.
Many plats require drainage, utility, or street design that only a licensed engineer can prepare. We tell you early whether your project needs one and coordinate with the engineer so the plat and the plans agree.
