Plat Surveys
Our team of expert land surveyors has been serving the Tampa Bay area for many years, providing accurate and reliable plat surveys to keep your construction projects running smoothly without delay or worry.
What is a Plat Survey?
A plat survey is used to create an officially drawn map of a land area to define boundaries between different parcels of property to scale. Whenever a landowner wants to change the official boundaries of their land (such as dividing it into smaller pieces or combining adjacent parcels of land) they will need a surveyor to take a plat survey for exact measurements of the land, and lay out the desired divisions to submit them to the local government for approval of the smaller parcels.
Why Do You Need a Plat Survey?
Plat surveys are perfect for determining exact property boundaries for homeowners. A plat survey provides accurate information about the property, including its boundaries, dimensions, and any easements or rights-of-way. This information is necessary for proper planning, design, and construction. These measurements can be compared to the property deed in order to determine the actual property, which may be more or less than what is legally theirs.
Different Uses of Plat Surveys
The property information given in a plat survey can help accurately shape how the land is being used such as:
- Designating public roads and access points
- Designating property owners private home access ways (such as a private driveway)
- Ensuring that properties have access to all public utilities (Electricity, Water and Sewer systems)
- Dedicating Public Land (Such as Parks, Shelters and Monuments)
- Enforcing government zoning rules and restrictions (Primarily for size and geometry regulations)
