Most active Land Surveyors are listed in the yellow pages of the telephone book, or a listing may be obtained from the Professional Land Surveyors of Oregon. A Land Surveyor is an integral part of a professional team composed of attorneys, engineers, architects and planners. Some land surveying companies offer comprehensive services including some, or all of the above. Choose a reputable Land Surveyor in whose skill and judgement you can put your trust. A Land Surveyor should not be selected by price alone.
Competency is of first importance.
Land Surveyors, like other professionals, vary in knowledge and ability. The experiences expressed by clients have shown that the majority of Land Surveyors provide competent work for a reasonable fee. In some cases, a survey of more than one section is required, depending on the location of the parcel in question in relation to the sections shown on the government plat. A level parcel of land is easier to survey than a mountainous parcel. Shrubs, flowers, and trees on home sites are normally not disturbed, but may require additional field time to perform work around them.
