Land Survey question?

What would be a reasonable cost for having 5 acres surveyed? The land already has some survey posts marked and the whole south side of the land I am purchasing is clearly marked.

Land Survey question?
i can't tell you a good price but i would do comparison shopping i would call a few surveyors and explain it as stated in your question and see based on a broker price opinion appraisal what would be the cheapest and best surveyor service to use.
Reply:What you might want to do to save your self some money if the land has been previously surveyed is order what is called an ILR which is an improvement location report which is not a full blown survey but it requires that a survey drawing be completed and the lines drawn on paper by a surveyor relating to your boundaries. Such a survey report runs about 350 to 550 ask the title company about it.
Reply:I would expect a several thousand dollar cost. Even though there are markers already there, any surveyor will confirm that they still remain in the correct location, and will survey all line markers anyway.





Much of the cost depends on how near or far from the property a 'certified marker' can be located. The farther away from your property, the more work the survey entails, and the higher the cost will be.
