We’re Not in Concord Yet: But We’re Coming!

Common reasons are buying or selling land, settling a boundary dispute, building a fence or addition, dividing a lot, or getting a site plan for a permit. Ask the surveyor which kind of survey your reason needs and what they will produce.

Usually a drawing, often called a plat or map, and sometimes boundary markers placed on the ground. Ask in writing exactly what the deliverable is, in what format, whether the corners will be marked, and how many copies you get.

A boundary survey shows property lines and corners. A topographic survey shows land features such as slopes, trees and buildings. Other types exist, so tell the surveyor what you need the survey for and ask which type they recommend and why.

Surveying is regulated in many places, and the rules differ by state. Ask for the licence number and check it with the state board. Ask who signs and stamps the survey and whether your city requires it. On Pros Around, Licence verified means we matched the number to the board's record on the date shown.

Bring your deed, any earlier survey, the mortgage or title documents, and say where access is. Ask the surveyor what they need from you, whether they will do research at the county, and what they need to do on site, such as clearing brush.

The price depends on the size and difficulty of the job. Some pros publish a starting price on their listing. Ask two or three for a written quote that says what is included, and compare the scope as well as the price.

Only customers who contacted a pro through Pros Around can review them, using a link that works once. Pros can reply but cannot delete a review, and reviews are never sold. An admin hides a review only if it breaks our rules, and the reason is recorded.

By the plan a pro has chosen, then a Featured badge, then review quality. A higher plan can place a pro higher; between pros on the same plan, reviews decide. Anything paid for is labelled.
