Divide your property with confidence. We handle permits, surveys, environmental studies, and county approvals — from initial application to final recorded plat.
Start Your Subdivision ProjectA land subdivision divides one property into two or more separate parcels, each with its own legal description. This process requires county approval, boundary surveys, environmental reviews, and utility coordination — all governed by local zoning and state regulations.
TerraVector coordinates every phase: preliminary plat, environmental studies, infrastructure plans, public hearings, and final plat recording. We work across Washington counties including Grant, Adams, Douglas, Lincoln, Franklin, Okanogan, Spokane, Kittitas, and Chelan.
Assess zoning requirements, minimum lot sizes, access, and utilities. Determine feasibility and approach.
Licensed surveyor establishes property lines, monuments, and easements to create the base map.
Submit subdivision design to county showing proposed lots, roads, utilities, and drainage.
SEPA checklist or EIS for wetlands, critical areas, and habitat impacts.
Present to planning commission. Address neighbor concerns and county conditions.
Incorporate conditions, complete infrastructure, and record with county auditor.
Most subdivisions take 12–24 weeks from application to approval, depending on county workload, environmental complexity, and public comment periods. Simple 2-lot splits can be faster; major subdivisions with infrastructure may take longer.
Short plats create 4 or fewer lots and have a simplified review process. Long plats create 5+ lots and require full environmental review, public hearings, and infrastructure plans.
Yes. A licensed land surveyor must prepare a boundary survey and preliminary plat showing existing conditions, proposed lot lines, easements, and monuments.
Costs range from $15K–$50K depending on lot count, environmental studies, infrastructure requirements, and county fees. Short plats are typically $15K–$25K; long plats with roads and utilities cost $30K–$50K+.
We coordinate subdivisions across central and eastern Washington: Grant, Adams, Douglas, Lincoln, Franklin, Okanogan, Spokane, Kittitas, and Chelan counties.
Yes, but rural subdivisions must meet zoning minimums (often 5–20 acres per lot), demonstrate adequate access, and address septic, wells, and fire safety. We'll assess feasibility during the pre-application phase.
Typical team includes: land surveyor, civil engineer, environmental consultant, geotechnical engineer (if needed), and land use attorney (for complex cases). TerraVector coordinates all vendors.
