Professional Land Surveying Services in Northeast Wisconsin

Boundary Surveys

Know Exactly Where Your Property Lines Are.

A boundary survey helps determine where your legal property lines are located. This is one of the most common and important surveying services for homeowners, buyers, sellers, contractors, attorneys, and landowners who need clear answers before making decisions about a property.

AHC Land Surveying researches deeds, plats, previous surveys, and available records, then completes careful fieldwork to locate, verify, establish, and document the property boundaries.

Boundary surveys are commonly used for:

• Installing a fence
• Planning a home addition, garage, shed, driveway, or new construction
• Confirming property corners or property lines
• Preparing to buy or sell property
• Resolving boundary questions with a neighbor
• Identifying possible encroachments
• Planning landscaping, grading, or improvements near property edges
• Supporting attorneys, real estate professionals, or title-related matters



Whether you own a city lot in Appleton, a rural property in Outagamie County, or recreational land elsewhere in Northeast Wisconsin, a professional boundary survey gives you the clarity to move forward with confidence.

Certified Survey Maps

Adjust, Divide, or Combine Property the Right Way.

A Certified Survey Map, often called a CSM, is used in Wisconsin when a property owner needs to adjust, divide, or combine parcels without creating a full subdivision plat.

AHC Land Surveying prepares Certified Survey Maps that meet applicable state and local requirements, creating a recorded document that clearly defines the new parcel boundaries.

Certified Survey Maps are commonly needed when you are:

• Dividing a parcel into four or fewer lots
• Adjusting a shared property line
• Combining two or more parcels
• Separating part of a farm, rural property, or family-owned land
• Creating a buildable lot from a larger tract
• Selling, gifting, or transferring part of a property

CSMs are often used by landowners, farmers, families, developers, attorneys, and real estate professionals. Because the process involves both technical surveying and local recording requirements, working with an experienced Wisconsin Professional Land Surveyor helps keep the project clear, accurate, and properly documented.

Topographic Surveys

Understand the Features, Elevations, and Conditions of Your Site.

A topographic survey maps the physical features and elevations of a property. This may include buildings, pavement, utilities, drainage features, ground elevations, contours, trees, site improvements, and other visible conditions that affect planning and design.

These surveys are especially useful before construction, development, grading, drainage improvements, landscaping projects, or engineering work.

Topographic surveys are commonly used for:

• Planning new construction or development
• Preparing site plans
• Designing grading, drainage, and stormwater improvements
• Supporting engineering or architectural plans
• Locating buildings, utilities, pavement, and site features
• Planning retaining walls, driveways, landscaping, or outdoor improvements
• Understanding elevation changes on residential, rural, agricultural, or commercial properties

AHC Land Surveying provides topographic survey services throughout Northeast Wisconsin for property owners, builders, engineers, architects, municipalities, and developers who need accurate site information before moving forward.

ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys

Detailed Survey Documentation for Commercial Real Estate Transactions in Wisconsin.

An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is a highly detailed survey used most often for commercial real estate transactions, development projects, financing, refinancing, and title insurance purposes.

These surveys follow nationally recognized standards established by the American Land Title Association and the National Society of Professional Surveyors. They are commonly requested by lenders, title companies, attorneys, developers, and commercial property buyers.

An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey may include:

• Property boundary information
• Location of buildings, parking areas, and site improvements
• Easements, rights-of-way, and access information
• Possible encroachments
• Utility-related information
• Flood zone information
• Zoning information when requested
• Table A items selected for the specific transaction

AHC Land Surveying works with attorneys, title companies, lenders, developers, and commercial property professionals to provide accurate ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys across Appleton, Green Bay, Oshkosh, the Fox Valley, and Northeast Wisconsin.

Floodplain Surveys

Elevation Certificates, LOMAs, and Floodplain Documentation.

Properties near lakes, rivers, streams, creeks, and low-lying areas may face floodplain-related requirements from lenders, insurers, municipalities, or FEMA.

AHC Land Surveying helps property owners, buyers, sellers, lenders, and insurance professionals get the elevation and floodplain documentation they need to better understand a property’s flood risk and next steps.

Floodplain survey services may include:

• Elevation Certificates
• E-LOMAs submitted through FEMA’s online system
• LOMAs, or Letters of Map Amendment
• Documentation for lender or insurance requirements
• Support for properties near lakes, rivers, streams, creeks, and waterfront areas

If your property has been placed in a flood zone and you believe the elevation may support a map change, AHC Land Surveying can help determine the proper approach and prepare the survey documentation needed for the process.



AHC serves floodplain-related projects throughout Northeast Wisconsin, including lakefront, riverfront, rural, and residential properties.
