Questions
How much does a land survey cost?
We do not publish an average: each published price covers a different job, and the firms here are only those that print a price. The 76 prices on this page are each shown exactly as published, with a link to the page.
Is the county recording fee included in the survey price?
The county fee to record a plat is set by the county and is listed separately here. Ask the surveyor whether recording is included in the quote.
Prices read in October 2026 from public pages that allow it (robots.txt checked). Each quote was matched against its page. A firm whose page blocks automated reading is not here. More: what a land survey costs · Texas county records and fees · flood zones and elevation certificates
