Land Surveyor Mona, Utah

Boundary, foundation, topographic and subdivision surveys for Mona homeowners, builders and landowners, from the surveyors just down the road in Nephi.

We know Mona’s lines. Our crews have worked in Mona for decades, and we know its history: an early survey that set many road-frontage fence lines, town blocks where interior fences wander, and section-line ground outside town that has to be retraced. That local knowledge makes surveys faster and more reliable.

Which Survey Do You Need in Mona?

Mona is one of the fastest-growing towns in Juab County, and most of our work here 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.

01 · Local history

Mona’s Fences Tell Part of the Story.

An early survey of Mona in the 1900s set many of the fence lines along the town’s roadways, and those road-frontage fences often match the boundary. Inside the blocks it’s a different story: interior fences were built over the years without surveys and frequently miss the deeded line. Outside town, parcels follow the section system and old surveys have to be retraced.

Road frontage: fences often follow early survey lines.
Interior lines: fences inside blocks often don’t match deeds.
Outside town: section corners recovered and retraced.
Deed vs. fence: both shown on the map, with the gap measured.
No shortcuts: we don’t accept a fence as the line without evidence.
Fixing a gap: boundary agreements or lot-line adjustments.

Mona Land Survey FAQ

Questions Mona property owners ask most.

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, and acreage outside town $2,500–$6,000 or more. 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 elevation confirmed before framing. Send us your permit conditions and we’ll confirm what’s needed. Because we’re nearby, we can usually schedule it soon after your pour.

Is my fence the property line in Mona?

Sometimes, but not always. Along many of Mona’s roadways, long-standing fences follow lines from an early 1900s survey. 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 at the Juab County offices, 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 engineers prepare site plans, grading and drainage, and subdivision designs, and our surveyors handle the plat and staking, all from the Nephi office.
