Land Surveying questions, answered by experts

In Lancaster, land surveying permits depend on your project's scope. For subdivision surveys, approval from the Lancaster County Planning Commission is required, while building permits from the Lancaster City Bureau of Code Compliance may need a recent boundary or topographic survey. Some townships also require surveys before installing fences, pools, or sheds. Always verify requirements with your local zoning office or the Lancaster County Recorder of Deeds for the most accurate guidance.

Helpful?

In Lancaster, local factors such as agricultural land use, Amish community practices, and seasonal weather can affect land surveying. Surveyors may need to coordinate around planting or harvest times and respect private farm access. Heavy rains or winter conditions can delay fieldwork. Consulting with the Lancaster County Planning Commission or your township zoning office ensures your survey complies with both rural and urban property requirements unique to the area.

Helpful?

In Lancaster, unexpected land surveying costs can include additional title research, resolving discrepancies in old deeds, or extra fieldwork if property lines are unclear. Surveyors may charge more for properties with dense vegetation, steep terrain, or limited access. Coordination with the Lancaster County Recorder of Deeds or legal professionals for boundary disputes can add fees. Rush requests or surveys requiring utility location services may also increase your final cost.

Helpful?

In Lancaster, the average timeline for land surveying depends on the survey type and property size. Boundary surveys typically take 1 to 3 weeks, while topographic or ALTA/NSPS surveys may require 3 to 6 weeks due to research and fieldwork. Projects needing Lancaster County Planning Commission approval or coordination with the City Bureau of Code Compliance can extend timelines, especially during peak construction seasons or inclement weather.

Helpful?

After a land survey in Lancaster, homeowners should periodically inspect and protect boundary markers, especially after construction or landscaping. If markers are disturbed, contact a licensed surveyor for re-establishment. It's wise to update your survey after significant property changes or before selling. The Lancaster County Recorder of Deeds recommends keeping survey documents and photos on file for reference during future property transactions or improvements.
