Commercial Real Estate Surveys in Missouri City, TX: A Critical Step for Development Success

Missouri City has become one of Fort Bend County’s most strategic locations for commercial real estate. Located just 20 miles southwest of Downtown Houston, the area is attracting developers, investors, and business owners with its blend of suburban growth, major roadway access, and available land parcels.

But before any project can break ground in Missouri City—whether it’s a retail center, office park, or multi-family development—one crucial step is often overlooked: the commercial land survey.

At South Texas Surveying, we’ve been helping real estate professionals unlock the full value of their properties for over 40 years. In Missouri City and across Greater Houston, our team delivers fast, accurate commercial land surveys that support better decision-making and faster permitting.


Why Missouri City Demands Precise Land Surveying

Commercial real estate in Missouri City sits at the intersection of opportunity and complexity. Developers must consider:

  • Zoning overlays and future land use plans

  • Floodplain management near Oyster Creek and surrounding bayous

  • Access and easement rights impacting driveways, signage, and parking

  • Boundary clarity in areas with subdivided or re-platted tracts

A commercial land survey is more than a map—it’s a foundation for engineering, financing, permitting, and long-term property value.


Types of Surveys Real Estate Pros Need in Missouri City

ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys
Used for closing, title insurance, or refinancing. These show boundaries, utilities, easements, encroachments, and access—all required by lenders and title companies.

Topographic Surveys
Provide elevation data and physical features essential for grading, drainage, and utility planning—especially relevant for development along the Missouri City-Beltway 8 corridor.

Boundary Surveys
Determine legal property lines, highlight encroachments, and ensure compliance with Missouri City’s land development regulations.

Platting and Replatting
Subdivision or combination of parcels requires municipal approval. We manage the entire platting process from submittal to approval with local officials.

Construction Staking & As-Built Surveys
Support builders during and after construction to align with site plans, drainage expectations, and city codes.
