How we score

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

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

Land survey pricing in LA varies by property size, survey type (boundary, topographic, ALTA) and urgency. None of the firms on this page published a specific price list in their site text or reviews, so we’re not listing numbers here rather than guess. Most offer free quotes, so ask each firm to price your specific project.

Serving all of Los Angeles

The surveyors above cover Los Angeles County broadly, from Tarzana and West LA to Torrance and Calabasas, with several specifically experienced in Pacific Palisades and Altadena post-fire rebuild work. Searching for a land surveyor near me? Every listing here shows a live phone number so you can ask about your specific project directly.

What to ask before you hire a land surveyor

Are you a licensed Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) in California?
What type of survey do I need: boundary, topographic, ALTA, or something else?
How long will the fieldwork and final report take?
Will you file a certified copy with the county as part of the permanent record?
Have you worked on projects like mine, such as a post-fire rebuild or ADU permit?
Is the quote flat-rate, and does it include setting physical property markers?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these land surveyors?

We started from land surveyors in Los Angeles 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.

Which surveyor has experience with post-wildfire rebuild permits?

Builoff Surveying & Mapping has multiple reviewers specifically describing topographic and boundary surveys for properties destroyed in the Eaton and Palisades fires, produced for City of Los Angeles Planning Department submittals.

Do I need a survey before building a fence near my property line?

It’s strongly recommended. A reviewer for Denn Engineers described exactly this scenario, a neighbor’s fence crew unsure of the property line, which a survey resolved before construction began.

The bottom line

California Land Surveying Solutions is the safe default given its perfect rating and the deepest review base on this page. If your project is a post-fire rebuild specifically, Builoff Surveying & Mapping’s track record makes it worth calling first. Whichever firm you choose, confirm they’re a licensed PLS and ask what documentation gets filed with the county.
