Surveying in Bonner Springs, KS
Bonner Springs sits mostly on the north bank of the Kansas River at the western edge of Wyandotte County. The city limits also reach into small parts of Leavenworth and Johnson counties, which surprises some buyers. Knowing which county your parcel is in tells you where its deed and plat are recorded, so that is one of the first things a surveyor checks. Survey Coordinator matches you with a licensed surveyor in our network who is familiar with records in all three counties.
The town has a long history, from the Tiblow settlement era to its incorporation as Bonner Springs in 1898. Older lots near downtown and K-32 can carry legal descriptions written generations ago, while newer homes and commercial sites have grown up near I-70, K-7 and the area around Azura Amphitheater and the National Agricultural Center and Hall of Fame. Both old and new properties can need a fresh boundary survey before a sale, a fence or an addition.
Being a river town means flood questions come up often. FEMA flood maps for Bonner Springs show mapped flood zones along the Kansas River and Wolf Creek. If your home or business is close to either one, a licensed local surveyor can prepare an elevation certificate or a topographic survey so your insurer, lender or the city has accurate numbers to work from. It is wise to ask about this early, before you commit to a purchase price or a building plan.

Bonner Springs survey questions
Which county records my Bonner Springs deed?
Most of Bonner Springs is in Wyandotte County, where land records are kept by the Register of Deeds within the Unified Government. A few parts of the city lie in Leavenworth or Johnson County, and those parcels are recorded in that county instead. Your tax statement or the county parcel map will show which one applies.
Is my Bonner Springs property in a flood zone?
FEMA has mapped flood hazard areas along the Kansas River and Wolf Creek in and around Bonner Springs. You can look up your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center for a first look. If the map is close or unclear, an elevation certificate from a licensed surveyor gives the actual elevations of your building.
Do I need a survey to put up a fence in Bonner Springs?
Check with the City of Bonner Springs about its fence permit rules before you start. Even when a survey is not required, many owners order one so the fence does not end up on a neighbor's land. A surveyor can find or set your corner markers so the installer has clear lines to follow.
