How to hire a land surveyor in Montgomery County, MD

Updated for 2026 · 4 min read

How Do I Find a Licensed Land Surveyor in Montgomery County?

Montgomery County has a well-developed market for licensed land surveyors, given the density of real estate activity in Rockville, Bethesda, Silver Spring, Gaithersburg, and Germantown. Maryland requires all practicing surveyors to hold an active Professional Land Surveyor (PLS) license. When hiring in Montgomery County, verify that the firm's lead surveyor holds a current Maryland PLS license.

What to Look for in a Montgomery County Surveyor

Surveyors working regularly in Montgomery County should have familiarity with:

  • Dense suburban subdivision records: Silver Spring, Wheaton, Kensington, and Chevy Chase have layered subdivision histories from the early 20th century onward.
  • Stream buffer and floodplain regulations: Montgomery County Planning enforces regulatory buffers near Rock Creek, Seneca Creek, and Potomac River tributaries. Surveyors working near these features must understand how the buffers affect where monuments can be placed and what certifications are needed.
  • Agricultural reserve properties: Northern Montgomery County has a designated agricultural reserve. Large rural parcels there often have older deed descriptions and may involve more complex research.
  • Commercial corridor work: Rockville Pike, the I-270 corridor, and Bethesda have significant commercial survey demand, including ALTA surveys for office and retail transactions.

How Do I Get Started?

When you contact surveyors in Montgomery County, provide the property address, the approximate lot size, and what you need the survey for. Ask for a written quote covering all deliverables: deed research, fieldwork, plat preparation, and monument placement. Get at least three quotes before deciding.

Many surveying firms serving Montgomery County book out two to four weeks in advance. If you have a permit application or closing deadline, contact surveyors early.
