Land Surveying in Katy, TX
Katy straddles three counties. A parcel here can sit in Harris, Fort Bend, or Waller, and the recording requirements, plat process, and county review differ across all three. That is a survey problem before it is a permitting problem, and getting it wrong costs weeks. We establish which jurisdiction actually governs, run the deed chain, plot the easements and drainage reserves, and produce boundary, topographic, ALTA, and construction staking surveys accordingly. On flat sites where a few tenths of a foot determines whether the site drains, the topographic survey is not a formality, it is the basis of the entire civil design.
The Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller county lines run through the Katy area, and the governing jurisdiction changes the platting path. Flat terrain makes accurate topographic control disproportionately important to drainage design.
- Boundary and title surveys for acquisition and permitting
- Topographic surveys for civil design
- Construction staking: building corners, utilities, paving, and grades
- As-built surveys for closeout and conveyance
FAQ · Katy
Which county is my Katy property actually in?
That is one of the first things the survey establishes, and it is not always what the mailing address suggests. The answer determines where the plat is recorded, who reviews the drainage, and which set of development rules applies.
Why does topographic accuracy matter so much on a flat site?
Because the design grades are shallow. On terrain this flat, a small survey error can consume the entire fall in a drainage run and produce a site that ponds where the plan said it would drain.
