Surveying services for Montgomery and the River Region
Alabama’s capital is a big market with every kind of survey need: older city neighborhoods with decades-old plats, new subdivisions in Pike Road and east Montgomery, commercial corridors along the interstates, and farmland and timberland across the rest of Montgomery County. We work here from our Clanton office, just up I-65, on projects where clients want a licensed surveyor they can reach directly.
Commercial property and ALTA/NSPS surveys
When a lender finances a commercial purchase in Montgomery, it usually requires an ALTA/NSPS land title survey. It shows boundaries, easements, access, improvements, flood zones and possible encroachments – the things a title search alone can miss. For development, a topographic survey gives engineers the elevations and features they need to design grading, drainage and utilities.
Flood zones along the Alabama River and local creeks
Montgomery lies on the Alabama River, and creeks such as Catoma Creek drain large parts of the county. Homes and businesses near them may be mapped in a FEMA flood zone. An elevation certificate documents the elevation of your building – needed to rate flood insurance accurately, to challenge a determination or to lower a premium.
Records
Deeds and plats for Montgomery County are recorded with the Montgomery County Probate Office. Every boundary survey we do starts there – with the deed of your parcel and of the neighbors – before we go to the field to find and set the corners.

Great experience. I deal with residential surveyors on a regular basis, but when I purchased a tract of land, Randy was recommended by the bank, and turned out to be very responsive, was able to do the job on a very tight schedule, and for a very reasonable price.
