Benbrook, TX · Tarrant County
Pre-Development/Sketch Plat Application
Benbrook property owners or applicants use this application to request the City’s sketch plat review before formally submitting a plat.
What this form is
Before a formal plat submittal, applicants must submit a sketch plat for City review. The application collects property, owner, and applicant details, and the checklist identifies required materials, including a purpose statement, sketch plat, conceptual iSWM site plan, digital copies, and a $150 fee. City staff use the review to classify the proposed subdivision and provide comments; sketch plat approval does not accept the subdivision.
