LOT CONSOLIDATION PLAT

If you own two or more adjacent parcels of land that you wish to combine into one parcel, you will need an experienced surveyor to draw up a lot consolidation plat that will to satisfy the requirements of local jurisdictions and for your protection as a property owner.

WHEN IS A LOT CONSOLIDATION PLAT NEEDED?

  • You are purchasing an adjacent vacant lot for the purpose of expanding your property line
  • You own several parcels of land together, and you want to develop your land as a larger entity 
  • You want to sell your land for commercial development (if properly zoning)

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH LOT CONSOLIDATION SURVEY

  • Survey crew will arrive at the property to collect data, flag corners and re-set missing pins                                               
  • A scale drawing (or “plat”) is drawn to show new property lines, bearings, distances and acreage. 
  • Property improvements will be shown such as buildings, driveways, fences, pools, etc.,                 
  • Any encroachments that might exist will be shown.

NOTE: Most local zoning authorities make lot consolidation a reasonably simple matter. A professional surveyor will do the fieldwork on the current lots, then draw up a plat that accurately shows the existing lots and the dimensions of the new plot of land.  While some local governments allow lot consolidation with a simple letter of intent, it is always in your best interests to have your land professionally platted.
