Tip: Tell the surveyor what you’re trying to accomplish (fence, permit, purchase, boundary question). The survey type matters.
Common types of surveys (plain English)
- Boundary survey: confirms property lines and corners based on records + field work.
- Topographic survey: maps elevation and features (useful for design and drainage planning).
- ALTA/NSPS survey: common for commercial deals and lender/title requirements.
- Construction stakeout: helps place improvements where plans require.
What to prepare before you call
- Property address and parcel/APN (if you have it).
- Why you need the survey (fence, building permit, purchase/sale, easement question).
- Any documents you already have (plat map, deed, title commitment, prior survey).
- Access considerations (gates, pets, rough terrain, restricted areas).
Questions to ask a surveyor
- What survey type do you recommend for my purpose?
- What deliverables will I receive (PDF, stamped survey, CAD, corner staking)?
- What’s included vs excluded (research, monumentation, staking, boundary marking)?
- What’s the estimated turnaround time and what can delay it?
- Do you coordinate with title/lender/engineer if needed?
Cost drivers (why surveys vary)
- Records complexity: older subdivisions or unclear monuments take more research.
- Terrain + access: steep lots, brush, and difficult access add field time.
- Lot size: bigger parcels generally require more work.
- Survey type + deliverables: commercial and topo surveys usually require more detail.
Next step: define your scope
