Why is a survey necessary?

A survey is necessary to protect your property rights. A survey will ensure that you acquire ownership for the land you are paying for. It will explicitly illustrate where your property begins and where it ends. It will also protect you from having anybody else infringe upon your property. Additionally, you will be protected in case there may be any violations of building restrictions (encroachments) on the subject property.

What is an elevation certificate?

An Elevation Certificate, or FEMA Certificate, is a form developed and issued by The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and completed by a Professional Surveyor and Mapper. This form identifies the flood and non-flood hazard areas in which a particular property is located. The form also indicates the elevation of the building. The Elevation Certificate is used by insurance agents for the purpose of quoting your property flood insurance rates.

How Much is a Land Survey and/or and Elevation Certificate?

Elevation Certificate Cost:

Elevation Certificates range from $95 to $250+ depending on the Properties Location and Complexity.

Properties in rural areas, islands and peninsulas are subject to additional charges due to their Locations, Accessibility and/or distance from Vertical Control Necessary to Complete the Elevation Survey

Land Survey Cost:

The starting price for a typical land survey is $275. There are several factors in quoting a land survey since properties vary in size and complexity. Those factors include:

• Complexity- Even if a property looks to be a simple rectangle the Legal description can be a Sectional Break out or a Metes and bounds description. This adds a lot of Complexity to the Surveying process.
• Size- Even with a Simple lot and block legal description if the property is large then we will require more field time to conduct the Survey.
• Location- Some properties are quoted based of their location to Monumented Control lines and/or required Sectional tie-ins
• Acceptability- This can also be a factor if there is a lot of debris, Trees and/or brush on the property.
