What to know about Land surveyors
Land surveying is the one profession in this group where the licence is not merely advisable but definitional. Where your property line runs is a legal question answered by evidence on the ground, recorded documents and the rules of boundary retracement, and states reserve that work to licensed surveyors. Washington puts it plainly: locating and monumenting points or lines which define the exterior boundary common to two or more ownerships must be conducted by a licensed land surveyor, and the surveyor must file a record of survey with the county auditor within 90 days after establishing, reestablishing or restoring a corner on such a boundary.

How to choose land surveyors in Georgetown
- Match the professional to the job: an architect or engineer where the work requires one, a designer for layout and finishes, or an inspector for a condition report.
- Ask whether they are licensed or certified for this type of work in your area, where that applies.
- Review a portfolio or sample report that's similar to your project.
- Get a written agreement that spells out the services, deliverables, number of revisions and how fees are charged.
- Ask whether their drawings will be suitable for a permit application, and whether they'll help with it.
Questions to ask land surveyors before you hire
- Are you licensed or certified for this type of work in my area?
- What exactly will you deliver: drawings, specifications, a report or site visits?
- How are your fees charged: a fixed fee, hourly or based on the project cost?
- How many rounds of revisions are included?
- Will your drawings be ready for a permit application, and will you submit it?
- Can I see a sample of a similar project or report?
- Do you carry professional liability insurance?
Land survey permits in Texas
Some land survey work needs a permit or has to meet local bylaws. Rules vary by municipality, so ask your pro whether a permit is needed and who will apply for it — and check with your city or town if you’re unsure.
This type of work often has to be done by a licensed or certified trade. Ask to see licences and proof of insurance before work starts.

Common land survey questions
Is LokalMatch free for homeowners?
Yes. You never pay LokalMatch to request quotes or talk to pros. Professionals pay a fee to connect with homeowners whose projects fit their business.
How many pros will contact me?
We introduce you to a small number of relevant pros — usually no more than three — so you’re not flooded with calls. If fewer pros are available in your area, we’ll tell you instead of promising quotes we can’t deliver.
Do I have to hire someone?
No. Requesting quotes doesn’t commit you to anything. Compare your options and hire only if someone is the right fit.
