Which Survey Do You Need in Fountain Green?
Most Fountain Green work falls into three groups. New homes need a boundary survey for the permit, staking before excavation and a foundation survey after the pour. Fences on older lots and livestock ground need a boundary survey, because many existing fences were never built on the line. Families dividing farm or ranch ground need a parcel survey and new legal descriptions.

Sheep country
Fences Built for Livestock, Not Lot Lines.
Fountain Green grew up around ranching, and many of its fences were set to hold sheep and cattle rather than to follow a surveyed line. When a parcel sells, splits or gets a new home, those old fences are often the first thing a survey has to sort out.

03 · Local survey conditions
What Makes Fountain Green Parcels Different?
Conditions we often run into on the west side of Sanpete Valley.
Large Rural Parcels
Acreage parcels with long lines and few surviving corners take more field time.
Livestock Fence Lines
Old fences often wander from the deeded line, so occupation and record both get measured.
Springs & Ditches
Springs, ditches and pipelines bring easements that should be shown before you build.
Public Land Survey Corners
Rural parcels tie to section corners that may need to be recovered or re-established.
Original Town Lots
Older in-town lots can rely on early plats and deeds written from block corners.
Setbacks on Rural Lots
Well and septic locations drive house placement on lots without city services.
04 · Records & filing
Sanpete County Records, Retraced on Your Ground.
Fountain Green is in Sanpete County, so deeds, plats and prior surveys are held by the County Recorder at 160 North Main in Manti. We research those records first, then compare them with the corners, fences and occupation we find on site.
Once the boundary is set, Utah law requires us to file a map of the survey with the county within 90 days (Utah Code § 17-73-504).
Included in Every Boundary Survey
Deed & plat research for you and your neighbors.
Corner search for existing pins and stones.
New corners set where they’re missing.

Fountain Green Land Survey FAQ
Questions we hear most from Fountain Green and north Sanpete property owners.
How much does a land survey cost in Fountain Green?
Boundary surveys on platted lots typically run $1,025–$1,800. Older in-town lots and rural acreage usually cost more, from about $1,800 to $6,000 or more depending on size and records. Fountain Green is close to our Nephi office, so travel stays low, and every quote is a fixed fee.
Do I need a foundation survey for a new home in Fountain Green?
Many building departments and lenders want the foundation’s location and elevation confirmed before framing. Send us your permit conditions and we’ll tell you what’s required. We do the same work in Moroni, Wales and Chester.
How long does a survey take in Fountain Green?
Most residential boundary surveys are delivered in 1–3 weeks from approval. Foundation surveys are scheduled to your pour and usually turned around within days.
Where are Fountain Green property records kept?
Fountain Green is in Sanpete County, so deeds and recorded plats are held by the Sanpete County Recorder at 160 North Main in Manti.
Can you split a parcel off my farm or ranch ground?
Yes. We survey the parent parcel and prepare new legal descriptions for the split, and can handle a lot-line adjustment if a shared line needs to move. Check with the town or county on lot-size and frontage rules first.
Does my fence mark my property line?
Not necessarily. On older and rural parcels, fences were often built for livestock rather than on the surveyed line. The survey shows both, and how far apart they are.
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.
What do I need to send for a quote?
The address or parcel number, what you’re planning (building, fencing, buying, splitting) and any permit or closing date. A copy of your deed or an old survey helps if you have one.
