How Much Does A Property Survey Cost?

A property survey without a plan, so a Limited Content Boundary Stake-Out Survey, in Rhode Island can cost as little as $1995 for small city lots or starting at and over $9195 for parcels of land greater than 10 acres in area.

The average property survey cost for half acre lots is around $3,010 to $5,900 and 1 to 2 acre lots range from $3,295 to $6,500, depending on whether you select our Basic, Basic+, or Comprehensive survey types.

Generally, the property survey price increases proportionately as the lot size and scope of work increases.

A land surveyor’s price to survey your land will depend on whether you just want your boundary or lot corners staked-out with a written Class I Survey Standard certification or if you want a Property Survey and Plan.

Ordering a property survey and plan together (our Basic Plus option) will cost you less than getting a survey plan later

When ordered a Property Survey and Plan together the added cost is as little as $903 more for some lot sizes for a Limited Content Boundary Survey plan, our Basic Plus service (Basic+) and generally increases with lot size. Ordering a survey plan with your property survey is a valuable document to have and will typically cost you less than getting a survey plan later.

The Gold Standard and best option when having your property surveyed is to order a Comprehensive Boundary Survey, which includes more monumentation, surveying your entire property, not just a strip of land along the perimeter of your land, and of course you will receive a certified Comprehensive Boundary Survey plan. The Comprehensive Boundary Survey option only adds another $1,740 for the smallest sized lots and starting at and over $6,047 more for parcels of land greater than 10 acres in area. If you are having a boundary dispute with a neighbor, or because you want the very best, then you should absolutely order a Comprehensive Boundary Survey. 

If you require a property survey for any proposed site improvements like a building addition, pool or new deck, then your survey cost will be a higher because your property surveyor has to perform a property survey and site plan for you. The site plan adds a minimum $2,350 to your survey cost and is what you will give to your city or town building department to obtain your building permit.

When your survey will be started is another important cost consideration. Many land surveying companies have significant project backlogs where they are unable to even start your survey for 12 to 30 weeks, ore more! Getting to the top of their project list is an expensive proposition, if even possible.
