Subdivision Plats
A subdivision plat is a legal document that is used to document the division of a tract of land into two or more parts.

When Required
The Texas Local Government Code states that any division of property into two or more parts requires a subdivision plat to be created; however, there are exceptions to this code which would exempt a division of land from platting requirements. If you are dividing a property into smaller parcels for the purpose of selling or developing, then you or the person who purchases and develops the property must plat the new parcel(s).

Exceptions
According to the Local Government Code, a COUNTY may not require a plat of a subdivision of a tract of land if:

1. There are no streets, alleys, squares, parks, or other parts of the tract intended to be dedicated to public use or for the use of purchasers or owners of lots fronting on or adjacent to the streets, alleys, squares, parks, or other parts and;
2. All of the Lots created are more than 10 acres in size or;
3. The land is to be used primarily for agricultural use, as defined by Section 1-d, Article VIII, Texas Constitution, or for farm, ranch, wildlife management, or timber production use within the meaning of Section 1-d-1, Article VIII, Texas Constitution (If the tract described ceases to be used primarily for agricultural use or for farm, ranch, wildlife management, or timber production use, the platting requirements of this subchapter apply) or;
4. If each of the lots is to be sold, given, or otherwise transferred to an individual who is related to the owner within the third degree by consanguinity or affinity, as determined under Chapter 573, Government Code. (If any lot is sold, given, or otherwise transferred to an individual who is not related to the owner within the third degree by consanguinity or affinity, the platting requirements of this subchapter apply) or;
5. If all the lots are sold to veterans through the Veterans' Land Board program.

To Create a Plat
Subdivision plats must be signed and sealed by a Registered Professional Engineer and a Registered Professional Surveyor in order to be approved by the Bexar County Commissioner’s Court. There are several Engineer/Survey companies that may be able to assist you in the creation of the plat.

Cost
Costs for platting vary depending on type of development, Engineer’s Fees, and City Fees (if in a city’s ETJ.) Bexar County Platting fees are varied based on plat location (inside or outside of a city’s ETJ) the size of the plat (acres), and number of lots. See Bexar County Plat Fee Schedule.

Note: ETJ stands for Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction. It is an area outside and contiguous to the limits of a municipality (city) in which the city can enforce its platting regulations to ensure an orderly growth. In this area both city and county agencies have the authority to review subdivision plats.
