Anybody gotten a boundry survey done for vacant land? I’m having sticker shock. First 3 estimates were 1825,1800,and 1500. I was thinking it’d be more like half that. When I put up my house the plot plan and grade plan was 650 out the door but that was 20 years ago almost.

Buying our house a year and a half ago a survey was $450. How big is this lot?

Might depend on lot size, whether there are markers in the ground, and what kind of historical survey exists?
Nice Cutlass - I’m most impressed by the fact that the rear bumper still seems to be attached!!

That was a hugely popular car back in the day - - and many, many HS classmates of mine drove one of those in the mid-late ‘80s.
Being in the rust belt, I would say that the rear bumper fell off of about half of them, I kid you not. Even on some cars that were otherwise fairly rust-free.

I had a 76 and a 77 in Michigan in the late 80s. Great cars 455 drops right in and easy to get parts. Bumper literally fell off of both of them. On the 77 I actually made a wood bumper and painted it silver couldn’t even find one decent enough to buy. Oh and the brake lights would pop on both of them for some reason, but I still miss those cars.

LOL yeah, I’ve seen many a mid-70's Cutlass with a wood rear bumper.
My dad bought a light blue ‘77 Supreme coupe brand new - it was a good car.

You have to factor in the court house time to get the info on the deed. I worked with a surveyor for a summer and it would be a half day just getting the deed info. Then we had to root around in the road for a marker to start from. It took a day or more to complete a survey. So, yeah that sounds reasonable.

Thanks. I’ll feel a little better paying that but just a little.

Yeah, definitely not inexpensive, but it takes time, and you know what they say about time. I used to drop my guy off at the courthouse, or city building, and go wash the truck and grab lunch. I imagine it’s easier with newer locations or subdivisions, but I was surprised how much research he had to do to get the proper limits for the property. I didn’t care for it back then, but now I miss surveying. It’s a fun gig.

Researching this I found out you need a 4 year degree. Wish I would of stayed in school looks like a fun gig. I’m just bummed this little purchase is gonna have me living on credit for a month or 2 in the middle of summer. Gotta pay to play though.
Thanks again for the info

In Ohio it was a degree plus 5-10 years experience as well to get a license. Each state is different. It’ll get easier eventually. Good luck.

That sounds similar to what it takes to be a real estate appraiser. College degree, plus 250+ hours of appraisal education course and 2,000+ hours of experience in no less than two years. Then you can sit for the test to get licensed. Then, you can have a Realtors talk to you like your an idiot every time you kill their deal because they priced a property well over market value. Fun, fun, fun...
