The short answer

Do You Survey in Ogden?

Yes, by schedule. Ogden isn’t part of our day-to-day service area, and we’d rather say so up front. We take Weber County work on planned trips, and we’re a strong fit for ALTA/NSPS surveys, larger sites, boundary and topo together, and utility site surveys.

Boundary surveys start at $1,025 for a recorded lot, are stamped by a Utah PLS, and are filed with the Weber County Surveyor.

03 · Survey basics

What an Ogden Property Line Survey Involves

The same steps we follow anywhere in Utah, with what’s typical for Ogden-area lots.

Step 01

Records from Weber County.

Deeds, the recorded plat and earlier surveys filed with the county surveyor tell us where the lines should be before the crew arrives.

Step 02

Find the corners.

Newer subdivisions usually have their lot pins in place. Older city lots often need more searching and ties to street monuments or block corners.

Step 03

Map what matters.

Fences, sheds, driveways and buildings near the lines, shown against the property lines. Add topo if you’re planning to build.

Step 04

Stamp, set and file.

Missing corners set, the map stamped by a Utah PLS, and a copy filed with the Weber County Surveyor within 90 days, as Utah law requires.

Five Things That Speed Up an Ogden Quote

Even just the address is enough to start.

  1. Address or Weber County parcel number. We pull the plat and nearby surveys.
  2. What the survey is for: fence, addition, sale, lender or a neighbor question.
  3. Your deadline, so we can match it to a trip north.
  4. Any old survey or title report you already have.
  5. Access: gate codes, dogs, and who to call on site.

Ogden Survey Questions, Answered.

Do you do boundary and property surveys in Ogden?

Yes, by schedule. Our office is in Nephi, about two hours south of Ogden, so we take Weber County work on planned trips. Our Ogden-area records include five ALTA surveys in Ogden, an ALTA in Roy, a foundation certification, and utility site surveys in West Haven.

How much does a boundary survey cost in Ogden?

Our survey fees follow our statewide 2026 ranges: $1,025–$1,800 for a recorded subdivision lot, $1,800–$2,500+ for an older city lot, and $2,000–$4,000 for 1–5 acres. Travel from Nephi is shown as its own line on the fixed-fee quote.

Should I hire you or a surveyor based in Ogden?

For a single residential lot that needs corners marked this week, a surveyor based in Weber County will usually be faster and cost less in travel. We're a good fit for ALTA surveys, larger sites, owners with property in several Utah counties, and work scheduled a few weeks out.

Can you do a topographic survey in Ogden?

Yes. Topographic surveys run $1,500–$4,500, usually one to four weeks after fieldwork. Ordering the boundary and topo together saves a second trip.

How long does an Ogden survey take?

It depends on the next scheduled trip north. After fieldwork, boundary surveys usually take one to three weeks and ALTA surveys three to six weeks. Tell us your deadline when you ask for a quote and we'll say honestly whether we can meet it.

Is my survey filed with Weber County?

Yes. Utah law requires a boundary survey map to be filed with the county surveyor within 90 days of establishing or re-establishing a boundary (Utah Code § 17-73-504). For Ogden properties, that's the Weber County Surveyor.

What's the difference between a property survey and a boundary survey?

People use the terms interchangeably. Both locate your property lines and corners. A boundary survey stamped by a Utah PLS is what you need for a fence, an addition, a dispute or a lender.

Can you draft house plans for an Ogden home?

Yes. House plan drafting is done in our office, so distance doesn't matter. Send your sketches and measurements.
