Navigating county permitting, subdivision approvals, and boundary clarifications can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re facing deadlines, development goals, or construction schedules that depend on timely approvals. County processes often involve layers of documentation, multiple office departments, and strict regulatory requirements, making it easy for property owners to feel stuck.

At Shealy Land Surveying, we specialize in helping homeowners, builders, and developers move through these bureaucratic steps with clarity, efficiency, and confidence. When red tape stands in your way, our expertise becomes your advantage.


Understanding the County’s Requirements, So You Don’t Have To

Every project, whether it’s a lot line adjustment, new construction, subdivision, or property improvement, requires accurate information and compliant documentation. County governments rely heavily on precise surveying to verify land boundaries, ensure zoning compliance, and authorize next steps.

Our team brings expert knowledge in:

  • Subdivision Surveys & Plats

  • Boundary Clarifications

  • Construction Staking

  • Topographic Surveys

  • ALTA/NSPS Title Surveys

  • Site Planning Support

Because we work with county offices across Prosperity, SC, and surrounding areas every day, we know exactly what officials need and how to prepare your documents the right way, on the first attempt.


Helping Property Owners Navigate Red Tape Every Day

The approval process can be intimidating for anyone who hasn’t dealt with it before. From unclear instructions to missing plat details, even minor mistakes can delay a project by weeks or months.

With years of hands-on experience guiding clients through permitting and regulatory requirements, we help prevent the common pitfalls that slow projects down. As illustrated in the attached graphic, papers, files, and warnings can pile up quickly when navigating government processes on your own.

We eliminate those obstacles by:

  • Identifying the correct requirements for your project

  • Preparing and submitting accurate, compliant documentation

  • Coordinating directly with county officials

  • Clarifying boundary or subdivision issues before they reach the county desk

  • Keeping you informed through every step

Our experience allows you to move forward without guesswork or frustration.
