Carrollton development survey guidance

Carrollton Plat, Replat, and Survey Guide

A Carrollton guide for subdivision information, preliminary plats, final plats, administrative plats, and survey coordination.

Carrollton's subdivision process includes Planning review, CityServe Portal submittals, departmental comments, Planning and Zoning Commission action for most plats, and county recording. This page summarizes the official process so owners and developers can start with the right survey scope.

Subdivision Review Path

Carrollton says the plat approval process requires at least 30 days from the application deadline and generally requires Planning and Zoning Commission approval, except administrative plats approved at staff level.

Confirm the plat type before preparing the exhibit
Use CityServe for application, drawings, and payment
Resolve delinquent property-tax issues before processing
Expect City department review before P&Z consideration

Preliminary and Final Plats

Carrollton describes separate preliminary and final plat steps. After preliminary plat approval and required revisions, an applicant may submit a final plat, obtain utility signatures, and complete recording with the appropriate county clerk.

Submit completed application forms and PDF/JPEG drawings
Respond to staff and department comments
Obtain required utility-company signatures after approval
Return recorded copies to the Planning Department

Survey Items to Prepare

Carrollton plat work depends on accurate boundary and title research, prior plats, easements, rights-of-way, utilities, and existing public-infrastructure information. Engineering as-builts and subdivision plat copies can be requested from the City where needed.

Boundary, deed, and prior plat research
Easement, right-of-way, and utility review
Lot, block, acreage, bearings, distances, and closure
Water, sewer, storm drain, and street as-built context where relevant
