"Texas, often referred to as the Lone Star State, is a thriving hub for economic growth and innovation, making it an attractive destination for commercial real estate investment." - Chris Evans

Building Smart in League City: The Role of Commercial Land Surveys

League City, Texas, is quickly becoming a hotspot for commercial growth in the Houston metro area. With its strategic location near major highways, proximity to Galveston Bay, and a booming population, League City is attracting investors, developers, and builders looking to establish retail, office, healthcare, and industrial spaces. But none of that growth is possible without one key service—commercial land surveying.

At South Texas Surveying, we bring 40+ years of experience to League City’s dynamic real estate scene, offering fast, accurate, and regulation-ready surveys that help get projects approved, funded, and built.

Why Land Surveys Matter in League City Development

Commercial real estate in League City presents unique opportunities—but also unique risks. The city spans parts of Galveston and Harris counties, meaning zoning, floodplain mapping, and permitting requirements can shift from one block to the next.

Here’s where land surveys come into play:

  • Define Clear Boundaries for property acquisition or redevelopment

  • Reveal Easements and Encroachments before they cause delays

  • Support Site Design with topographic data

  • Meet Lender and Title Requirements through ALTA/NSPS land title surveys

  • Navigate Flood Risk Zones common along Clear Creek and coastal plains

Survey Services We Offer in League City

South Texas Surveying performs the full range of commercial surveys required for large and small-scale development projects:

  • ALTA/NSPS Surveys – Required by most lenders for commercial property transactions

  • Topographic Surveys – For planning grading, drainage, parking, and structural design

  • Boundary Surveys – To confirm legal property lines and support title transactions

  • Platting & Replats – For subdividing land or combining parcels during site development

  • Floodplain Surveys & Elevation Certificates – Especially important in low-lying areas of League City

Local Knowledge That Matters
