Denton development survey guidance

Denton Plat, Replat, and Survey Guide

A Denton guide for land development, pre-application conferences, final plats, replats, preliminary plats, and survey preparation.

Denton land development review begins with feasibility and application-material coordination, with pre-application conferences strongly encouraged. This guide helps owners and developers prepare survey-backed plat and replat materials before City review.

Start with Feasibility

Denton strongly encourages applicants to request a Pre-Application Conference. During that process, applicants are assigned a Development Facilitator who can review requirements, procedures, schedules, and project impacts.

  • Use the pre-application process before detailed submittal work
  • Confirm the required application type and checklist
  • Coordinate utilities, access, drainage, and site impacts early
  • Gather owner authorization and required application materials

Plat Checklists

Denton publishes final plat and preliminary plat checklists. The final plat checklist applies to minor plats, amending final plats, final plats, development plats, and replats, with procedures tied to Denton Development Code provisions.

  • Use the current final plat checklist for replats and final plats
  • Use preliminary plat materials when the project path requires it
  • Review required plat notes and Development Code references
  • Confirm sheet format, title block, bearings, distances, and owner information

Survey Items to Prepare

Denton platting applications resolve ownership, property boundary, easement, and utility-service concerns. A survey package should be built around record research, boundary evidence, easement calls, and civil-development assumptions.

  • Current deed, owner authorization, and prior plats
  • Boundary, abstract, easement, and right-of-way research
  • Utility, drainage, floodplain, and sidewalk note coordination
  • Development permit or civil-plan context when improvements are involved
