Private Property Surveys
Houston Public Works does not maintain copies of private property surveys, nor does the Harris County Clerk’s Office keep copies of these documents. If you are searching for a copy of the survey you received when purchasing your home, here are some steps you can take:
- Check your personal records: Review the closing documents from when you purchased your property, as these often include the survey.
- Contact your title company or mortgage company: They may have a copy of the survey on file.
- Reach out to the original surveying company: If you know the name of the company that conducted the survey, they may be able to provide a copy.
Additionally, Houston Public Works does not provide surveying services for private property. If you require a new survey of your property, you will need to hire a licensed surveyor to conduct this work.
