Why Tomball, TX Needs Expert Commercial Land Surveys for Every Development

As northwest Houston continues to sprawl outward, Tomball has become one of the most attractive cities for commercial real estate development. With easy access to SH 249 and the Grand Parkway, and a growing population seeking new retail, healthcare, and industrial facilities, Tomball presents powerful opportunities for investors.

But developing commercial land in Tomball isn't simple. Varying terrain, floodplain risks, and overlapping regulations from Harris and Montgomery Counties make accurate surveying essential. That’s where South Texas Surveying steps in—bringing over 40 years of experience and deep regional expertise to every project.

The Role of Land Surveys in Tomball’s Growth

From revitalizing downtown parcels to building new commercial parks along the SH 249 Tollway, surveys are foundational to every stage of a commercial real estate project. Without a professional survey, projects face risks like boundary disputes, drainage issues, or delays in permitting.

Land surveys in Tomball help:

• ✅ Identify boundary lines and encroachments

• ✅ Map topography for grading, utility planning, and construction

• ✅ Determine flood zone placement and elevation certification

• ✅ Meet lender and title company requirements with ALTA surveys

• ✅ Guide subdivision platting and replatting needs

Navigating Dual-County Regulations with Confidence

Tomball presents a unique challenge: projects may fall under the jurisdiction of either Harris County or Montgomery County, depending on location. Surveyors must understand the distinct permitting and platting requirements of both, including:

• Drainage and detention guidelines

• Right-of-way access for utilities

• Floodplain restrictions near Spring Creek or Little Cypress Creek

South Texas Surveying brings deep familiarity with both counties’ regulatory environments, helping our clients move forward without unnecessary delays.
