Land Surveyor in Overland Park, Kansas

Overland Park is really two cities when it comes to property lines. North of I-435, most homes sit on lots platted decades ago, in neighborhoods where fences, sheds and driveways have been added, moved and replaced by several owners. Corner pins from the original subdivision are often buried under landscaping or long gone. When you plan a new fence, a pool or a room addition on one of these older lots, a boundary survey shows where your property actually ends before you build.

South Overland Park looks different. Land along 135th, 151st and 167th Streets has filled in with newer subdivisions, office parks and retail, and some acreage there is still being split and developed. Builders and buyers in the south often need plot plans, staking and lot-level surveys tied to recent plats, while commercial owners may need an ALTA survey for a sale or refinance. Survey Coordinator matches each request with a licensed surveyor in our network who already works in Johnson County.

Water is the other local factor. Indian Creek and Tomahawk Creek cut across the city, and in the far south Coffee Creek and Wolf Creek feed the Blue River. Homes near these streams may fall inside a FEMA flood zone, which can affect insurance and building plans. A licensed local surveyor can prepare an elevation certificate that shows how your home sits relative to the mapped flood level. That document is often what an insurer or lender asks for when a property is near a creek.
