McKinney development survey guidance

McKinney Plat, Replat, and Survey Guide

A McKinney guide for planning coordination, CSS/eReview submittals, development permits, and plat survey preparation.

McKinney development review can connect Planning, engineering development permits, CSS portal submittals, and eReview comments. This guide helps owners and developers prepare survey information before a plat, replat, or development submittal.

Confirm Plat Status Early

McKinney's public guidance directs owners to verify whether a property is platted and to contact the Planning Department for help. Confirming plat status early helps avoid starting a permit or development path with the wrong survey scope.

  • Confirm whether the property is already platted
  • Review deeds, prior plats, and abstract information
  • Check whether a final plat, replat, minor plat, or related exhibit is needed
  • Tie permit questions back to Planning before filing

CSS and eReview Coordination

McKinney uses its Customer Self Service portal for development permits and eReview workflows. City guidance warns applicants to rely on legitimate invoices issued through CSS, and comments may affect plat filing or permit release.

  • Use CSS/eReview for applicable development submittals
  • Track missing attachments and outstanding comments
  • Expect related submittals such as plats or facade plans when required
  • Coordinate survey revisions with review responses

Survey Items to Prepare

McKinney plat work should be supported by boundary research, title and easement review, prior plat records, proposed lot layout, and any grading, paving, utility, or public-improvement context that affects development review.

  • Current deed, ownership, and authorization documents
  • Prior plats, abstract records, easements, and right-of-way
  • Lot, block, acreage, closure, and dedication details
  • Engineering development permit context when public improvements apply
