Land Surveyor in Arnold, Missouri

Arnold sits at the northeast corner of Jefferson County, where the Meramec River bends around the city's northern and eastern edges and empties into the Mississippi. That location has defined much of its history. After repeated floods, the worst of them in 1993, the city used federally funded buyouts to clear hundreds of flood-prone homes and lots, and much of that ground is now parks, ball fields and trails. Owners whose land borders those public tracts sometimes need a survey simply to know where their yard ends and city land begins.

The Meramec rose to a record crest at Arnold at the end of December 2015 and came close again in May 2017, damaging homes and closing Interstate 55 nearby. Anyone buying, insuring or rebuilding on low ground near the river or along Pomme Creek should expect flood questions. An elevation certificate prepared by a licensed surveyor records the lowest floor height against the mapped flood level, and the city's floodplain staff or your insurer can tell you whether one is needed for your address.

Up the hill from the river, most of Arnold is established residential neighbourhoods off Jeffco Boulevard and Highway 141, with older homes, chain-link fences and detached garages that may predate current setback rules. Typical jobs include a fence replacement, a driveway or garage addition, or a survey for a sale or refinance. You send one request, we confirm the price, schedule a licensed surveyor on our team or in our network who knows Jefferson County records, deliver the signed survey and send one invoice.
