Subdivision
Surveying Services
Subdividing land creates new legal parcels from an existing title, and the process requires precise survey work and careful coordination with your subdivision authority and the Land Titles Office. At ProtechGeo Surveying Ltd., every subdivision is prepared under the supervision of our Principal Alberta Land Surveyor in accordance with the Alberta Land Titles Procedures Manual and the Municipal Government Act, so your plan is accurate, compliant, and ready to register.
We provide comprehensive support throughout the entire subdivision process, from the initial application to the subdivision authority through to final registration with the Land Titles Office. Whether your project involves a single lot or a large multi-lot development in a rural or urban setting, our team delivers dependable plans that keep your development moving forward.
When do you need Subdivision Surveying Service?

Our Approach
Both Approvals Handled
Municipal subdivision authority and Land Titles are separate processes. We deal with both, in order.
Registration Standard Plans
Plans are drawn to the Alberta registration requirements Land Titles applies to subdivision plans.
Rural and Urban
Quarter-section splits and city infill lots involve different evidence and different approval routes.
Conditions Anticipated
The authority's likely conditions are flagged while you are still preparing the application.
Connected Disciplines
If servicing conditions require geotechnical work, we carry it on the same file as the survey.
ALS Supervised
Every plan is prepared under our Principal Alberta Land Surveyor. Land Titles will not register a plan without that signature.
