Building Setback and Grading/Drainage Certifications

Keep the City/County happy

For new construction the City or County building inspector will want a building setback letter stamped by a licensed land surveyor. Many times an architect will place the building right on the setback line leaving no room for error. It's a good idea to have the surveyor place the offset stakes for the new structure to be sure the seback letter can be issued at the appropriate time. The City or County will also require a grading and drainage certification from their surveyor stating that the grading was done per the approved site plan.

We provide ALTA/NSPS land title surveys for public and private clients.
