Choosing a Surveyor
Which firm for which project
Residential lot or raw parcel: Start with Element Land Surveying. Heber City-based, Wasatch Back specialist, free consultations, and a track record in the specific communities you're buying in.
Subdivision or entitlements: Alliance Engineering handles the full scope — survey, civil engineering, land planning, and county coordination. 45 years in Summit County means they know the P&Z process.
Large or complex development: Atwell's Heber City office brings national resources for projects needing environmental work, construction management, or coordination across multiple disciplines.
Order your survey during due diligence
Order a boundary survey before closing — not after. If you're planning to build, add a topographic survey at the same time. Combining them costs less than ordering separately, and you'll need both before any design work starts.
Quick-Access Tools
Parcel maps & flood zones
Use these official tools to look up parcel boundaries, ownership, and flood zone status before you engage a surveyor.
FEMA Flood Zone Note
If any portion of a parcel sits near a creek, drainage, or flat terrain, check the flood map before ordering a survey. If the parcel is in Zone AE or AO, you'll need a FEMA Elevation Certificate — Element Land Surveying specifically offers these.
Need help evaluating a parcel first?
A local land agent can walk you through zoning, hillside overlay, water rights, and easements — so you're ordering the right survey for the right reasons.
