Survey Costs

Applicants responsibility to contact an Alberta Land Surveyor after subdivion is approved. Costs are dependant on the surveyor, type of plan and number of lots being created.

Descriptive Plan

The subdivision of the parcel of land is described on a plan and only a minimal field survey is conducted. With minimal field surveying, the cost of this plan is less than a Plan of Survey. The disadvantage of a Descriptive Plan is no legal survey posts are placed to show the location of the property boundaries.

Plan of Survey

A legal field survey is conducted to sufficiently establish the boundaries of the original parcel of land; and legal survey posts are placed in the ground to establish new parcel boundaries. The costs of a Plan of Survey are considerably higher than those of a Descriptive Plan.
