Lot Split Survey in St. Louis, MO
Lot Split Survey in St. Louis
In the City of St. Louis, owners more often join lots than divide them. Someone buys the vacant parcel next door and wants one larger yard, or a developer assembles several narrow lots for a new building. Splits still happen, for instance when a wide lot holds two houses or a rear structure faces a separate street. Either way, a lot split survey in St. Louis produces the plat showing the old and new lines, ready for the city's review.
Plat review for property boundary changes in the city is handled through the Board of Public Service at City Hall, and the approved plat is then recorded with the city's Recorder of Deeds. Zoning sets minimum lot sizes, so the new parcels need to meet them. We gather your deeds and goals, confirm your price and schedule a licensed surveyor from our team or network who understands how the city expects these plats to look.

- You're building a second home on a large lot and need it on its own parcel
- You're dividing family land among relatives
- You want to move a line between two lots you own (a lot line adjustment)
- A buyer or lender needs the parcel described as separate lots
Lot Split Survey questions in St. Louis
Can I combine my house lot with an LRA lot next door in St. Louis?
Often yes. After you buy the lot, a licensed surveyor can prepare a consolidation plat that joins the two parcels into one. The plat goes through the city's plat review for property boundary changes and is then recorded, which can simplify future fences, additions and tax bills.
Who should I contact first about splitting a lot in the City of St. Louis?
Start with the Board of Public Service, which handles plat review for property boundary changes, and the city's zoning staff to confirm the minimum lot size where you are. Once the requirements are clear, the surveyor prepares the plat to match.
