Subdivision Surveying | Parcel & Final Maps | Bay Area 

Expert Guidance Through the California Subdivision Map Act

Navigating the process of dividing land requires more than just field measurements—it requires a deep understanding of local ordinances and state laws. At Golden Gate Surveying, we specialize in the preparation of Parcel Maps (for 4 or fewer lots) and Final Maps (for 5 or more lots). We act as your technical liaison between your project and the City or County Surveyor’s office.

Our Subdivision & Mapping Services

Creating new legal lots is a multi-step process. We provide the expertise needed for every phase:

• Tentative Map Preparation: Designing the initial layout for planning department approval, including existing topography and proposed lot lines.

• Parcel Maps: Expedited mapping for minor subdivisions, ensuring compliance with all local zoning and frontage requirements.

• Final Maps: Comprehensive mapping for major subdivisions, including precise monumentation and technical map checking.

• Lot Line Adjustments (LLA): Relocating boundaries between existing adjacent parcels without creating new lots.
