Lot Survey Residential
CNC Surveying, LLC does lot surveys for residential property in Nebraska and Iowa. It is curious that some surveying and civil engineering companies don’t do lot surveys. It is because their overhead is high. That tells you what you’re paying for other work. At CNC, we have a low overhead and we can afford to do a basic lot survey with certificate for only $950.

Lot surveys come in two flavors: plat subdivision (subdivide by simultaneous conveyance) or division (carved from a larger tract). Lots in a subdivision are pro-rated on the ground according to field vs plat dimensions for the whole block.
Lots divided from a larger tract depend on the sequence of division and the legal description. A tract lot taken off a larger piece is “senior” to other parcels taken off that piece, which are senior to recent parcels off the parent piece of land. The senior lot gets its described dimensions actually on the ground because it was first divided. The junior lot gets the remainder, greater or less. Comparing found monuments field distance against tract legal distance for the same line may disagree. The error (difference) is thrown to the junior lot. It may be short or it may be long, but the senior lot dimension is held.
Lot Survey Commercial
The same rules apply to commercial lots regarding subdivisions or tracts. Commercial lots are typically larger and contain more complexities like access easements. Commercial lots will typically be surveyed with an ALTA survey or title insurance survey. The complexities lead to the title company wanting assurance from a surveyor that the utilities agree with the easements, for one example. Because the title company insures the transaction against discrepancies, they want a thorough search to remove anything certain from the uncertain (less risk).
