The short answer
One Surveyor for the Whole County.
Ludlow Engineering surveys every town in Wasatch County and the unincorporated mountain areas between them: topographic surveys for new homes in Heber, Midway and Timber Lakes, boundary surveys, ALTA/NSPS surveys for resort and commercial property, drone mapping, and staking and foundation surveys for construction.
We research at the county in Heber, work around the snow, and quote a fixed fee before any fieldwork. In 2026 we surveyed and drone-mapped a 15-acre resort in Midway for its ALTA.

A conference center, hotel, villas, tennis courts and 412 parking spaces across several recorded resort plats, with water rights, a pond and a golf course. Our drone mapped the whole site while the crew surveyed the boundary and improvements, so every feature on the plat could be checked against current imagery.

04 · Local conditions
What Shapes a Wasatch County Survey?
The conditions that most often change scope, schedule and price here.
- Long snow season. Higher lots in Timber Lakes, Hideout and above Jordanelle can stay snowbound into spring. Book early for the first open weeks.
- Steep, wooded lots. Mountain lots need more topography and more field time than the valley floor, which sits around 5,600 feet.
- Ranch ground to homesites. Valley farm parcels around Heber, Daniel and Charleston are being split for homes, with canal and ditch easements to sort out.
- Reservoir and forest neighbors. Lots near Jordanelle, Deer Creek and the national forest adjoin public boundaries.
- Midway hot-pot ground. Mineral mounds and springs west of Midway show up on some parcels and get mapped in the topo.
- Resort and multi-plat property. Resorts and condo projects span several recorded plats, like the Midway resort above. Untangling them on one drawing is the job.

Building in Hideout, Timber Lakes or on the Midway benches usually takes three surveys. Scheduling them together saves trips up the mountain.

Wasatch County Survey Questions, Answered.
How much does a land survey cost in Wasatch County?
A boundary survey on a recorded subdivision lot in Heber or Midway typically runs $1,025 to $1,800, and an older town lot $1,800 to $2,500 or more. Parcels of 1 to 5 acres usually run $2,000 to $4,000, 5 to 20 acres $3,500 to $6,500, and larger tracts $5,000 and up. Topographic surveys run $1,500 to $4,500 and ALTA/NSPS surveys $3,000 to $8,000 or more. Travel is shown as its own line on every fixed-fee quote.
How much does a topographic survey cost in Heber City?
Most residential topographic surveys run $1,500 to $4,500. Steep, wooded lots in Timber Lakes, Hideout or on the Midway benches sit at the higher end; flat valley lots at the lower end. Boundary and topo together usually run $2,000 to $4,500.
Do you survey in Wasatch County from Nephi?
Yes. Heber City is about an hour and a quarter from our Nephi office. In 2026 we completed an ALTA/NSPS survey and drone map of a 15-acre resort in Midway, and we survey throughout the Heber Valley.
How long does a survey take in Wasatch County?
Most boundary surveys take one to three weeks, topographic surveys one to four weeks, and ALTA surveys three to six weeks. Higher lots can stay snowbound into spring, so book early for the first open weeks.
Is my survey filed with Wasatch 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 Wasatch County that's in Heber City, the county seat.
Do I need a boundary and a topo to build on a mountain lot?
Usually. The boundary shows where you can build within the setbacks, and the topographic survey gives the architect the slopes, trees and drainage. Ordering them together saves a trip up the mountain.
Do you use drones in Wasatch County?
Yes, on larger and steeper sites. On the Midway resort, our drone mapped the whole property while the crew surveyed on the ground. A drone doesn't set property corners; that still takes a licensed surveyor on the ground.
