Land Platting Services

What Is Land Platting?

Land platting is the process of creating a detailed map (a.k.a. a plat) that illustrates how a parcel of land is divided into smaller lots.

At Eagle Surveying, our team specializes in providing comprehensive platting services throughout Greater Waco and the DFW Metroplex that support responsible development and legal compliance. Whether you’re subdividing a large tract of land or preparing a site for new construction, our team provides the precision and expertise required to move your project forward.

Plats outline key features such as:

  • Lot boundaries
  • Streets and alleys
  • Easements for utilities and access
  • Designated public areas (like parks or green space)

 

Why Platting Matters

In Texas, platting is often required before any land can be developed — especially within city limits or areas governed by local ordinances.

  • Serves as a blueprint for orderly growth

  • Ensures compliance with municipal regulations

  • Facilitates access to utilities and infrastructure

  • Provides legal clarity on property boundaries

  • Prevents future disputes or delays in development

David Lopez

“In a bind and Eagle Surveying helped me out. Was in the process of replacing my residential privacy fence. Come to find out, local municipality required a survey of the property. I had misplaced the original after 20 years. After doing the usual Google search, I couldn’t find anyone to come out and survey the property. A commercial realtor I do business with, recommended Eagle. I contacted Mason Decker and within a couple of days, a crew was surveying my property. I received the survey via email and was totally impressed with the manner and professionalism Eagle did the project. We have bought some commercial property in Denton and Eagle will do the survey. Thanks Eagle!”
