Surveying Across Wasatch County

Wasatch County surveys fall into four areas. The Heber Valley floor has townsite blocks, subdivisions and farm ground being split for homes. Midway, Charleston and Daniel sit on the foothills and benches around Deer Creek. Jordanelle and Hideout are new mountain and resort lots on steep ground. East of Heber, Timber Lakes, Wallsburg and the US-40 corridor mix wooded mountain lots with large ranch parcels.

The same county holds flat Heber Valley farm ground and steep, wooded lots high above Jordanelle and Timber Lakes. We scope each survey for the ground it’s on, so you aren’t paying mountain-lot prices for a valley lot or the reverse.

03 · Local survey conditions

What Shapes a Wasatch County Survey?

The conditions that most often change scope, schedule and price here.

Season

Long Snow Season

Higher lots can stay snowbound into spring. Book early for the first open weeks.

Terrain

Steep, Wooded Lots

Timber Lakes, Hideout and the benches need more topo and more time in the field.

Growth

Ranch Ground to Home Sites

Valley farm parcels around Heber, Daniel and Charleston are being split for homes.

Public land

Reservoir & Forest Neighbors

Lots near Jordanelle, Deer Creek and the national forest adjoin public boundaries.

Water

Provo River & Canals

Irrigation canals and ditches bring easements across many valley parcels.

Ground

Midway Hot-Pot Deposits

Mineral hot-pot mounds and springs west of Midway show up on some parcels and get mapped in the topo.

04 · Building on a mountain lot

Boundary, Topo and Foundation, in One Plan.

Building in Hideout, Timber Lakes or on the Midway benches usually takes three surveys: the boundary to know where you can build, a topographic survey for the design, and a foundation survey after the pour. Scheduling them together saves trips up the mountain.

Boundary: corners set before design starts.
Topography: slopes, trees and drainage for the architect.
Staking: house corners and grades before digging.
Foundation: location and elevation checked after the pour.
Setbacks: compared to the approved site plan.
Stamped documents: for the inspector, lender or HOA.

Wasatch County Land Survey FAQ

Questions we hear most from Wasatch County property owners.

Do you survey all of Wasatch County?

Yes. We survey Heber City, Midway, Charleston, Daniel, Wallsburg, Independence, Interlaken and Hideout, plus unincorporated areas such as Timber Lakes, the Jordanelle shoreline and ranch ground along US-40 toward Strawberry.

How much does a land survey cost in Wasatch County?

Recorded subdivision lots usually start at $1,025, while steep or wooded mountain lots and ranch parcels cost more. Travel is shown as its own line and every quote is a fixed fee. Our Heber City guide has the full price table.

Where are Wasatch County property records kept?

Deeds, recorded plats and prior surveys are held by the Wasatch County Recorder at 25 North Main Street in Heber City. We pull them before any fieldwork.

Can you survey a lot in Timber Lakes?

Yes. Timber Lakes lots are steep and heavily wooded, so we usually pair the boundary survey with a topographic survey for the driveway, septic and house placement, and we plan fieldwork around snow.

Do you do foundation surveys in Midway and Hideout?

Yes. We confirm foundation location, setbacks and elevation before framing on mountain and valley lots across the county, and we can stake the house beforehand so the pour starts in the right place.

What if my lot borders Jordanelle or Deer Creek reservoir land?

Lots next to reservoir or state park land need careful research on the adjoining public boundary. We retrace that line from the record before setting your corners, so an encroachment doesn’t surprise you later.

Can snow delay my survey?

Yes. Snow can cover pins and stop work on higher lots for months. Call in late winter for spring work, or let us know if a valley-floor lot can be done sooner.

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.
