Find & Compare Land Surveyors in Your Area!

Land surveyors locate property boundaries and mark them on the ground, prepare plats and legal descriptions, map elevations and contours for building and drainage design, stake out foundations and roads before construction, and certify where a structure sits relative to flood zones and setbacks. People come here before putting up a fence, when a neighbor disputes a line, when a lender or title company requires a survey for closing, or when splitting a parcel.

Every state licenses land surveyors, and only a licensed surveyor can sign a survey that a court, lender or recorder will accept, so ask for the license and check it. Ask what kind of survey you need, since a boundary survey, a topographic survey and a lender’s location survey answer different questions and are priced differently. Ask whether monuments will be set, when the drawing will be delivered, and whether the fee covers recording. Pricing is per job and depends on acreage, terrain and how much old record research is needed. Surveys often pair with title companies at closing and with excavation contractors before ground is broken.
