Which Survey Do You Need in Manti?
Building a new home in Manti, Sterling or Mayfield usually means a boundary and topographic survey for design, staking before excavation, and a foundation survey once the concrete is in. Replacing an old fence or buying an older in-town home calls for a boundary survey. Deeding a home site off family ground calls for a parcel survey and new legal descriptions. A financed manufactured home needs an engineer’s foundation certification.
Manti was settled in 1849, and its original blocks have been divided, sold and fenced many times since. Our survey starts at the Sanpete County Recorder, right in Manti.

Foundation & Elevation Surveys in Manti, Sterling and Mayfield
New homes are going up across south Sanpete, and many building departments and lenders ask for proof that the foundation is in the right place at the right height. We survey it as soon as the concrete is in, before framing begins.
- Location: foundation corners measured against your property lines.
- Setbacks: front, side and rear distances compared to the approved plan.
- Elevation: top of foundation checked against the plan and grading.
- Scheduled to your pour so framing isn’t held up.
- Stamped letter or certificate ready for the inspector or lender.
- Best value when we also did your boundary and staking.

04 · Local survey conditions
What Shapes a Manti Survey?
Manti’s wide pioneer blocks, the temple hill and the farm ground running south toward Sterling give the town its character. They also mean many parcels have been divided by deed rather than plat.
Divided pioneer lots
Original Plat A blocks split over generations, often described by metes and bounds from a block corner rather than a recorded lot.
Ditches & irrigation
Irrigation ditches and pipelines cross many lots, and their easements need to be shown before you build or fence.
Section-line parcels
Fields south and west of town follow the public land survey (Townships 17 and 18 South), so section corners come first.
Slopes east of town
Lots toward the mountains need topography for drainage, driveways and foundation design.
Possession vs. record
Long-standing fences and the deeded line often disagree. The survey shows both.
Snow & spring runoff
Winter can bury monuments. Call early in spring for summer building dates.
05 · Sanpete County records
The Paper Trail Starts on North Main
Manti is the Sanpete County seat, and deeds, recorded plats and prior surveys are kept by the County Recorder at 160 North Main. Before our crew goes out, we pull your deed, your neighbors’ deeds and every survey we can find that touches your lines.
Your deed.
How its description was written, and whether it calls to a lot, a block corner or a section corner.
Adjoining deeds.
Every neighbor that shares a line with you, so gaps and overlaps show up before fieldwork.
Plats & prior surveys.
The town plat, later subdivision plats, and surveys filed with the county, including our own.
Easements & corners.
Ditch, road and utility easements, and section corners for rural parcels.
When the work is done, Utah law requires us to file a map of the survey with the county within 90 days (Utah Code § 17-73-504). More: how a boundary survey works

Manti Land Survey FAQ
How much does a land survey cost in Manti, Utah?
A boundary survey on a recorded subdivision lot typically runs $1,025–$1,800. Older in-town Plat A lots usually run $1,800–$2,500 or more, 1–5 acres $2,000–$4,000, and 5–20 acres $3,500–$6,500. Travel from our Nephi office is shown as its own line, and every quote is a fixed fee.
Do I need a foundation survey to build in Manti?
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 required. We do the same work in Sterling, Mayfield and Gunnison.
Do I need a survey to put up a fence in Manti?
It isn't always required, but it's the only way to know the fence is on your side of the line. In older parts of Manti, existing fences often don't match the deeded line, so a boundary survey before you build saves a dispute later.
Where are Sanpete County property records kept?
Deeds and recorded plats are held by the Sanpete County Recorder at 160 North Main in Manti, the county seat. We research them before every boundary survey.
Is my boundary survey filed with the county?
Yes. Utah Code Section 17-73-504 requires the surveyor to file a map of the survey with the county within 90 days of establishing or re-establishing a boundary.
How long does a Manti survey take?
Most residential boundary surveys are delivered in 1–3 weeks from approval, depending on records research and the season. Foundation surveys are scheduled to your pour.
Can I survey my own property line?
You can measure for your own planning, but only a Utah-licensed Professional Land Surveyor can set corners and prepare a survey that title companies, lenders and building departments accept.
Do you serve Sterling, Mayfield and the rest of south Sanpete?
Yes. Our records include 25 jobs in Sterling and 24 in Mayfield, plus work in Gunnison and Centerfield and throughout Sanpete County from Fairview to Ephraim.
