TRACT SPLITS & LAND DIVISION

Splitting land can feel complicated, but it doesn’t have to be. I offer fixed-price tract split services for rural properties in Northwest Arkansas, including Benton, Washington, Carroll, and Madison counties.

I handle the survey, drawings, legal descriptions, easements, and any required county meetings so you don’t have to navigate the process on your own.

ABOUT MY PRIVATE WORK

I am employed by the City of Fayetteville and have served as the City Surveyor for over 20 years. Because of this, I do not accept private surveying work within the Fayetteville city limits to avoid any conflict of interest.

Any private projects I take on are completed on my own time, with full professional care and attention.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN A TRACT SPLIT

Every tract split includes:

– GPS field survey
– Locating or setting property corners
– CAD drawings and a completed plat
– New legal descriptions for each new parcel
– Access and utility easements if needed
– All county applications and submittals
– Representation at required public hearings
– Final signed and sealed plat ready for recording

PAYMENT POLICY

Payment in full is required before work begins.

This allows me to begin property research, schedule field work, and prepare the necessary county documents without delay.
