Platting
Land development projects can range from creating a single lot to developing subdivisions with dozens of lots. Regardless of the size of the project, the platting process requires a thorough understanding of local development regulations and state law.
Searchers has prepared numerous subdivision plats for projects throughout the Texas Hill Country. We understand the regulatory process and work with landowners, developers, engineers, and local governmental authorities to help move projects through platting and approval.
Replats & Amending Plats
Changes to existing subdivisions may require a replat or amending plat. These processes may be used to relocate lot lines, combine lots, divide existing lots, or correct certain errors in a recorded plat.
Searchers has completed numerous replats and amending plats throughout our service area. Our team understands the applicable regulatory requirements and can help determine the appropriate platting process for your project.
Exempt Subdivisions
State and local regulations provide a number of exemptions to the platting requirement. In certain circumstances, land can be divided without having to plat. This can save thousands of dollars in design fees and construction costs.
Over the years, the team at Searchers has performed numerous exempt subdivisions. Our team is experienced in designing functional subdivisions that maximize the natural beauty of the property all while capturing the most amazing views and minimizing cost by reducing the length of new roads.
Our team has the highest level of expertise in exempt subdivisions in the Texas Hill Country. We understand the law, and we understand the local regulatory environment. We avoid unnecessary entanglement with local officials, which saves our clients time and money.
