Splitting land in Denton County usually means a plat process

Splitting land in unincorporated Denton County is rarely just a survey and a deed. The owner starts with a preliminary plat, an application, and fees. If the project adds roads or drainage, plans join the packet.

Development Services and Engineering review the plat and plans. Then the project goes to the Development Support Committee and Commissioners Court. After work is built and inspected, the final plat comes back for another review.

Once approved, the final plat is recorded with the County Clerk. A family split, investment tract, or small project may also need ETJ review, plans, or city approval.
