Surveying Costs

[cartod]

I just had 3 parcels put together in WV with a total of 5 acres. $900.

46 acres of hilly woods in rural MO, surveyed sometime before 2005 for $3000. The plot has 3 straight boundaries that cross deep gullies, and the 4th boundary follows an S-curve of road. The previous owner had it done and asked that two extra pins be placed, one at the road and another at the back line, connected by a surveyed internal line, so that the halves had equal road frontage and equal area, 23 acres, though the subdivisions were never recorded and the county plat shows just one 46 acre property. These complications may have raised the price of my survey, but still I think your current $4500 for 150 acres is in line.

I just got a quote for 1800 for a 5 acre lot. I suspect its higher because its an area that has seen a lot of change in lots through subdivision and recombining lots.

2010, one SFR parcel in Seattle with square footage of the lot (very very important in this case). $1100

I just spent $1400 to survey 3.5 acres, an additional $425 to do the topographical for septic purposes, $400 to stake out and the box and set the elevations and have another $175 to do soon for them to place the actual foundation walls compared to the planned placement.

8 acres in 2006, $12,000. This was a lot I bought next to mine and it was originally divided into French arpents and measured 72' X 4888'. This cost was only to set 4 pins in the corners.

And you thought your survey was high?

I see all these prices and wish I was so lucky. I was given two quotes back in 2007 for a survey of 50 acres. One was for $18,700 and the other was for $20,100. The third guy just gave me an hourly quote and would not bid the survey job with a fixed price.
