The short answer

Land Surveys in Richfield, Utah.

Ludlow Engineering is a licensed land surveying and civil engineering firm in Nephi, about an hour and a quarter north of Richfield. We do boundary surveys on Richfield city lots and acreage, lot splits and new descriptions, topographic surveys, and foundation design by a Utah PE. In 2026 alone we surveyed lots on Richfield’s original Plat A and on Plat C, and a parcel described by section outside town.

Every boundary survey is stamped by a Utah PLS and filed with the Sevier County Surveyor, and every job is quoted as a fixed fee, with travel shown separately.

A Half-Acre Lot on an Original Richfield Block

The north half of a lot on Block 16 of Richfield’s original Plat A. One corner fell inside an existing fence post; another fell on a concrete wall, so we scribed an “X” there instead of setting a pin. Fences, buildings, sidewalks and curbs were mapped from survey-grade drone imagery flown over a 12-block area, which shows how the whole block’s fences sit against the record lines.

What Makes Surveying in Richfield Different

A pioneer city grid, farm ground on its edges and a county seat full of records.

The Richfield City Survey plats. The original city was laid out in large blocks on Plat A, then Plat B, Plat C and beyond. After well over a century of splits and resales, fences, deeds and the plat rarely agree exactly, so we weigh the record against the monuments still in the ground.
Corners in the way. Old corners land in fence posts, walls and concrete. When a pin can’t go in, we mark the corner another way and say so on the map.
Whole-block mapping. On older blocks we can fly survey-grade drone imagery to map fences, buildings, sidewalks and curbs across the block, so you can see how your neighbors’ improvements line up too.
Farm ground and acreage. Outside the grid, parcels are described by section and aliquot part, so recovering section corners comes first, as on our 2026 Section 8 survey.
County records in town. As the county seat, Richfield is home to the Sevier County Recorder and Surveyor, where deeds, plats and filed surveys are kept.

Richfield Survey Questions, Answered.

How much does a land survey cost in Richfield?

A boundary survey on a recorded subdivision lot typically runs $1,025 to $1,800, and an older Richfield city lot on Plat A or Plat C $1,800 to $2,500 or more. Parcels of 1 to 5 acres usually run $2,000 to $4,000, and larger tracts more. Topographic surveys run $1,500 to $4,500. Travel from Nephi is shown as its own line on every fixed-fee quote.

Do you really survey in Richfield from Nephi?

Yes. Richfield is about an hour and a quarter from our office. We completed three Richfield boundary surveys in 2026, and we're in the area often for work in Salina, Redmond, Gunnison, Centerfield and Mayfield, so we group trips to keep travel down.

How long does a Richfield survey take?

Most boundary surveys take one to three weeks from approval. Old city lots with complicated records, or winter snow, can add time. Tell us your deadline when you ask for a quote.

Is my survey filed with Sevier 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 Richfield that's the Sevier County Surveyor, in Richfield.

My fence and my deed don't agree. Is that normal on an old Richfield lot?

Very. Richfield's original blocks were laid out on Plat A well over a century ago, and lots have been split and resold many times since. On our 2026 Block 16 survey we mapped the fences across 12 blocks with a drone so the owner could see how the whole block sits against the record lines.

What if a corner falls in a fence post or a wall?

We mark it another way and note it on the map. On the Block 16 survey, one corner fell inside a fence post and another on a concrete wall, so the crew scribed an "X" instead of setting a pin.

Do you do lot splits and subdivisions in Richfield?

Yes. We survey and write the new descriptions, and J. Brett Ludlow, PE, handles the engineering and platting through city or county review.
