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

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