5 Best Land Surveyors in Houston (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Fenris Morrow, Expert in Professional Services · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

A closing can stall for weeks over a missing survey, and Houston's platting and replatting rules add another layer most homeowners never see coming. These land surveyors in Houston have logged over 500 Google reviews between them, and most hold a rating of 4.6 stars or higher, so the differences come down to specialty: replatting, boundary work, or the equipment itself.

Short answer: New Era Development & Land Services leads on both rating and review volume (5.0 stars, 229 reviews), specializing in platting and replatting for development projects. For a standard residential boundary survey, 316 Land Surveying (4.7, 92 reviews) is a strong pick, and Capital Surveying Supplies serves anyone sourcing their own survey equipment.

How we score

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many clients have rated it, ranked against other Houston land surveyors. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a rating built on hundreds of reviews counts for more than one built on a handful. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does a land survey cost in Houston? (2026)

Survey pricing depends heavily on lot size, the type of survey (boundary, ALTA, topographic) and whether platting or replatting work is involved. We don’t have a trustworthy, cited local pricing source across this category, so ask each firm for a quote specific to your property.

Serving all of Houston

These firms operate across the Houston metro, including downtown, the west side near Sam Houston Parkway, and the northwest and near-west suburbs. Searching for a land surveyor near me? Every listing below has a live phone number so you can request a quote fast.

What to ask before you hire a land surveyor

What type of survey do I need (boundary, ALTA, topographic, elevation certificate)?
Is the surveyor licensed in Texas, and can they provide their license number?
How long will the survey take, and when will I receive the final documents?
Do you handle platting or replatting if my project requires it?
What’s included in the quoted price, and are there extra fees for locating property markers?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these land surveyors?

We started from land surveying and related businesses in Houston with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from the public Google data in the scorecard. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position on the underlying data.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

What’s the difference between a boundary survey and platting?

A boundary survey establishes where a property’s lines sit, while platting or replatting is the regulatory process of dividing or reconfiguring lots, often required before a new build. New Era Development specializes in the latter.

Where do I buy surveying equipment in Houston rather than hire a surveyor?

Capital Surveying Supplies sells professional survey equipment, accessories and offers calibration and repair services to the general public.

The bottom line

New Era Development & Land Services is the safe default for platting or replatting work, while 316 Land Surveying is a solid choice for a standard residential boundary survey. Confirm exactly what type of survey you need before requesting quotes.
