How we score

Every number on this page is computed from public Google data on the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the firm’s live Google star average. Review volume measures how many customers have rated it, ranked against other land surveyors serving New York. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.5 from over a hundred reviewers carries more weight than a 4.9 from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No firm can pay to change these numbers.

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

None of the surveyors on this page publish fixed pricing in the data we collected, and survey costs vary widely by property size, terrain, and the type of survey needed, boundary, topographic, ALTA, or elevation certificate. Get a written quote based on your specific property and required survey type before committing.

Serving the New York metro area

The surveyors above cover New York City’s five boroughs along with North Jersey communities including East Rutherford and Lyndhurst. Searching for a land surveyor near me? Every listing above shows a live phone number and directions so you can reach the closest option fast.

What to ask before you hire a land surveyor

Are you licensed to survey in New York (or New Jersey, if applicable)?
Is there an existing survey on file that could save time and cost?
What type of survey do I need: boundary, topographic, ALTA, or elevation certificate?
What is the expected turnaround time, and is rush service available?
Is the quote flat-rate, and does it include stakes and a written report?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these land surveyors?

We started from land surveyors serving New York 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.

Do any of these surveyors cover all five boroughs?

Perfect Point Land Surveying specifically advertises coverage across Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. Confirm coverage directly with the others, several of which are based in Queens or New Jersey.

How fast can I get a land survey done in New York?

Turnaround varies by firm and project complexity. Perfect Point Land Surveying reported a 24-hour rush turnaround in one case, while a standard residential survey can take from a few days to several weeks depending on the surveyor’s schedule.

The bottom line

Lalsa Land Surveying is the safe default on sheer review volume, while Manno Surveying and Behar Surveying stand out for their highest ratings if your property sits closer to New Jersey. Whichever you choose, confirm the survey type and turnaround in writing before work begins.
