Land Survey FAQs
Clear answers to common questions—cost, timing, and how to choose the right survey for your project.
How much does a land survey cost?
Costs vary by survey type, property size, terrain, records research, and local requirements. See
our cost guide + estimator for realistic ranges, then request a quote for exact pricing.
How long does a survey take?
Many residential boundary surveys take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks depending on scheduling, field time,
and courthouse/records research. Rush timelines may be available in some areas.
Do I need a survey to build a fence or shed?
Often, yes—especially if you’re building near the property line or have any uncertainty about corner locations.
Always check local rules and HOA requirements, and consider a boundary survey if the stakes are high.
What’s the difference between a boundary survey and an ALTA/NSPS survey?
A boundary survey focuses on locating and documenting property lines. An ALTA/NSPS survey is typically for
commercial transactions and includes additional items required by lenders/title—usually more time and cost.
Can I use an old survey?
Sometimes, but it depends on age, changes to the property, lender/permit requirements, and whether monuments can
be verified. A surveyor can tell you if an update or re-stake is needed.
Will a surveyor mark my property corners?
Often, yes—corner marking and setting/recovering monuments is common for boundary work, but scope varies by survey
type and local practice. Confirm what’s included when you request quotes.
