How to hire a land surveyor in Madison County, AL

4 min read

Surveyors in Madison County, Alabama

Madison County includes Huntsville, Madison city, Harvest, Hampton Cove, Owens Cross Roads, New Market, and Gurley. The county has 25 licensed surveying firms, reflecting Huntsville's status as one of the South's most active real estate and construction markets. NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, Redstone Arsenal, and the Cummings Research Park have made Madison County a consistently growing county with high demand for survey services.

What Madison County Surveyors Do

Survey firms in Madison County serve a wide range of needs:

  • Residential boundary surveys for fence placement, lot splits, and real estate transactions
  • Construction staking for new residential developments, which is among the highest-volume survey work in the county given ongoing subdivision activity
  • ALTA/NSPS surveys for commercial real estate along Madison Boulevard, US 72, and the Cummings Research Park corridor
  • Subdivision platting for new residential communities
  • Elevation certificates for properties in FEMA flood zones near Huntsville's creek system
  • Topographic surveys for engineering and drainage projects

Working With Madison County Deed Records

Madison County deed records are maintained by the Madison County Probate Court. Many Madison County properties are in platted subdivisions with clear lot-and-block descriptions, which speeds the research phase of a boundary survey. Older rural properties in the northern or eastern parts of the county may have metes and bounds descriptions requiring more research.

Tips for Hiring in a Fast-Growing Market

Huntsville's growth means survey firms sometimes have backlogs. If your project has a deadline, contact multiple firms at once rather than waiting for one to respond before reaching out to the next. Ask each firm for their current turnaround time when requesting a quote.

For new construction surveys, ask whether the firm has experience with your specific subdivision, as local familiarity with the plat reduces fieldwork time and cost.
