Property Surveying
More than surveying but history too.
At DES our surveyors know the land and history within our communities. Each year we perform surveys within subdivisions and rural areas in southwest Colorado and northern New Mexico.
Clients turn to us for property surveying to know their parcel or to know their boundaries for locating improvements. Contact us and we can help you know your boundaries.
Frequently Asked Questions
A PILC is a proposed improvement location certificate.

The required information on a PILC may vary between municipalities and typically includes showing existing structures and proposed work, easements/setbacks, site drainage, utilities, grades and slopes. Sometimes additional information like locating trees may be required.
An improvement location certificate.
The required information on a PILC may vary between municipalities and typically shows improvements made to a site. This could be following construction or showing a current properties improvements.
The cost of a survey depends on several factors.
1). Property Location (e.g. outside of town, in a different county, in a different part of the state)
2). Site Accessibilty – some properties may be developed with roads for access to property corners while some properties may be undeveloped and hard to access.
3). Property Size – lot size can vary. Surveying a 0.25 acre parcel will be significantly less than a 200 acre parcel.
4). Property Configuration – lot configurations can vary. A square lot is a basic configuration where your lot might be more than 4 property corners.
