What is a Land Surveyor?

A Professional Land Surveyor is a person who is qualified by education and experience and has passed an examination for licensure required by the State of Illinois to practice Land Surveying in Illinois.

When might I need a Survey?

• When buying or selling land, the location of which is not clearly defined on the ground.
• When land is divided.
• If a lending institution requires a survey.
• If a line or corner is not defined.
• Before building close to a line.
• Before a lot is conveyed from a larger tract.
• Before developing the property.
• When you believe someone has built on your property.

How much will a Survey cost?

Fees of Surveyors are on a level with other professions. The Surveyor's fees are dependent upon the size of the tract and other factors including the terrain and vegetation, accessibility, and if reliable survey monuments exist in the area. Therefore, the surveyors will estimate the approximate cost of the survey for you prior to commencing.
