Which Survey Do You Need in Mona?
Most of our Mona work is for new homes: a boundary survey and site plan for the permit, staking before excavation and a foundation survey after the pour. Owners of older in-town lots usually need a boundary survey before replacing a fence or selling. Families dividing ground outside town need a parcel survey and new legal descriptions.
Our crews have worked in Mona for decades, from the original town plat to the newest subdivisions.

Foundation & Elevation Surveys for New Mona Homes
Using one surveyor from start to finish keeps every measurement tied to the same control, and we’re close enough to respond quickly.
- Boundary & site plan: lines, setbacks and topography for the permit.
- Staking: house corners and offsets set before excavation.
- Excavation check: optional check of the footing location before the pour.
- Foundation survey: location and top-of-foundation elevation verified after the pour.
- Certificate: stamped document for the inspector or lender.
- Close by: Mona is just up I-15 from our Nephi office.

Mona’s Fences Tell Part of the Story
Along the roads, fences often match the boundary. Inside the blocks and outside town, they often don’t.
Fences inside blocks often don’t.
Interior fences were built over the years without surveys and frequently miss the deeded line.
Section corners come first.
Parcels outside town follow the section system, and old surveys have to be retraced.
Both go on the map.
We don’t accept a fence as the line without evidence. The survey shows both and measures the gap. Neighbors can fix it with a boundary agreement or lot-line adjustment.

What Shapes a Mona Survey?
Fields around Mona are becoming home sites and subdivisions, many on gentle slopes rising toward Mount Nebo. These are the situations we see most.
Divided block lots
Original blocks split over the years, often described from block corners rather than recorded lots.
Interior fence lines
Fences inside blocks frequently differ from the deeded line.
Parcels outside town
Rural parcels tied to section corners that may need retracing.
New subdivisions
Recent plats with fresh pins make for quicker, simpler surveys.
Bench lots toward Nebo
Sloped lots need topography for drainage, driveways and foundations.
Wells, ditches & irrigation
Wells, ditches and pipelines bring water rights and easements to many parcels.

Mona Land Survey FAQ
How much does a land survey cost in Mona, Utah?
Boundary surveys on newer subdivision lots typically run $1,025–$1,800. In-town block lots usually run $1,800–$2,500 or more, 1–5 acres $2,000–$4,000, and 5–20 acres $3,500–$6,500. Mona is close to our Nephi office, so travel stays low, and every quote is a fixed fee.
Do I need a foundation survey to build a home in Mona?
Many building departments and lenders want the foundation's location and top-of-foundation elevation confirmed before framing. Foundation surveys run $800–$2,000. Send us your permit conditions and we'll confirm what's needed.
What is a foundation elevation survey?
A survey after the pour that measures where the foundation sits against the property lines and setbacks, and the elevation of the top of the foundation against the approved plan. The result is a stamped letter or certificate for the inspector or lender.
Is my fence the property line in Mona?
Sometimes, but not always. Many of Mona's road-frontage fences follow early survey lines, but fences inside the blocks and on ground outside town often don't match the deeds. A boundary survey shows both the deed line and the fence.
What if my fence and deed line don't match?
We show both on the survey along with the distance between them. Neighbors can often fix the difference with a recorded boundary line agreement or lot-line adjustment; disputes over long occupation are legal questions for an attorney.
Where are Mona property records kept?
Mona is in Juab County, so deeds, plats and prior surveys are held by the Juab County Recorder at 160 North Main in Nephi.
How long does a Mona survey take?
Most residential boundary surveys are delivered in 1–3 weeks from approval. Foundation surveys and staking are scheduled to your construction dates.
Is my boundary survey filed with the county?
Yes. Utah Code Section 17-73-504 requires the surveyor to file a map of a boundary survey with the county within 90 days of establishing or re-establishing a boundary.
Do you do engineering for new homes and subdivisions in Mona?
Yes. Our civil engineer prepares site plans, grading and drainage, and subdivision designs, and our surveyors handle the plat and staking, all from the Nephi office.
