When you contract a service, you naturally want to know how much it might cost. It can be frustrating not to find prices clearly listed on a website. Unfortunately, it’s not quite that simple with a land survey. There are many factors that can influence the overall cost of a land survey here at First Choice. Here are just a few of them:

Property Location

The location of your property can play a role in how much your land survey may cost. If you’re located in an especially rural area, then it may cost more for our technicians to get to your property. Additionally, natural hazards on your property such as wetlands or forests may also increase costs and complexity.

Property Size

It takes our surveyors less time to assess a small property than it does a comparatively large one. The bigger the property in question is, the more time it will take the technician to properly assess it. The time put into a property survey plays a major role in the overall cost associated with it.

Property Complexity

Finally, property complexity plays the biggest role in determining the overall cost of the property survey. This can come from several key factors.

First, the surveyor will have to determine what is located on the property. The more buildings, natural features, easements, etc. that a property has, the more work the surveyor is going to need to put in to properly locate, notate, and assess everything.

Second, what sort of legal description already exists for the property? For example, more complex legal descriptions such as fractional are priced higher than a platted lot block property. The more complex the legal description the more time it will take for the surveyor to come up with an accurate picture of the current legal status of the property.

In general, it’s hard to provide an exact quote without knowing the details of the property involved. That’s why when you call First Choice Surveying, we ascertain as much about your property as we can before giving you an official quote and sending our technician to perform the work.
