The cost of a survey depends on many factors:

Type of survey required

Existing terrain and land conditions

Amount of information supplied by owner

Surveyor’s knowledge of the area

Availability of record information

Existing monumentation

Liability incurred by Land Surveyor

Because of the varying conditions and requirements, it will be difficult to determine the exact fee in advance. However, based on general experience, the Surveyor can usually furnish an approximate cost.

The lowest fee is not always in the best interest of the client or the Land Surveyor. A well prepared land survey will be the least expensive part of your total land investment cost.

It is not necessary to record a lot survey or all boundary surveys, but should you desire, it can be recorded at the County Recorder’s office. It must be signed and sealed by the Professional Land Surveyor. All subdivision plats and boundary surveys that create a new parcel must be recorded.
