Find a Licensed Land Surveyor in Missouri
Missouri licenses professional land surveyors through the Missouri Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Professional Land Surveyors and Professional Landscape Architects, part of the Division of Professional Registration. The board operates under Chapter 327 of the Missouri statutes. Survey Coordinator is a referral service, not a surveying firm: it connects homeowners, builders and commercial clients with independent surveyors who hold their own Missouri license. Before hiring anyone, you can confirm a license through the board's online search.
Missouri has written statewide rules for boundary work. The Minimum Standards for Property Boundary Surveys, found in 20 CSR 2030-16, cover how surveys are measured, how corners are monumented and what must appear on the finished plat, including the surveyor's signature and seal. The state's Land Survey Program, now within the Missouri Department of Agriculture, also keeps a repository of land corner and survey records that surveyors use when retracing older lines.
Deeds, plats and easements are recorded by the Recorder of Deeds in each county. When a city spans more than one county, as Lee's Summit does with Jackson and Cass counties, the parcel's county decides which office holds its records. A surveyor will usually review those recorded documents, along with any earlier surveys, before doing field work. If your county has an online index, you can often look up your own deed first and share it when you request a quote.
