Splitting Van Zandt land for sale can put you in front of Commissioners Court

Van Zandt County cannot zone every rural tract, but it can control how land is split into lots. If a parent tract will be divided for sale or development, the county subdivision packet comes into play.

The application asks for the owners, parcel ID, precinct, and a map of the area. The checklist also reaches utilities, 911 addressing through ETCOG, drainage, culverts, and the recordable plat. New roads have right-of-way standards too.

If a 40-acre place is meant to become homesites, talk with the precinct commissioner and read the packet before making an offer.
