Land Surveying Professionals in Whatcom County, Washington

Short and Long Subdivisions

A short subdivision is a land division of a legal lot of record into less than 5 lots consistent with zoning whereas the long subdivision consists of 5 or more.

Short Plat/PBD

This application will allow you to divide your property into 2-4 or 2-9 lots depending on your zoning and the jurisdiction you are dealing with. These are the most common methods of dividing property and are fairly standard practices within a particular city or county. As such, we are usually able to advise you upfront on many of the criteria and point you to the proper ancillary professionals such as a civil engineer, a private planner, and an attorney.

Long Plat

A long plat is a means of dividing property into an unlimited number of lots. In general, though, that number is usually greater than what is allowed by a short plat since a short plat is (typically) cheaper and quicker to complete.
