Suffolk County covers more ground — and more varied ground — than any other county in New York State. From the dense residential neighborhoods of Babylon and Islip to the sprawling estates of the East End, the working waterfronts of Greenport and Patchogue, and the coastal communities facing flood zone requirements, the survey needs here are as varied as the landscape itself.
Aerial Land Surveying provides land survey services throughout Suffolk County for homeowners, real estate professionals, developers, and contractors.
Our office is located in Shirley, putting us at the heart of the county and well-positioned to serve projects from the western townships to the Hamptons and everything in between. If you need a land survey in Suffolk County, please reach out to us today.
What Makes Suffolk County Survey Work Distinct
Suffolk County’s geography creates specific surveying considerations that don’t apply in the same way elsewhere on Long Island. Coastal proximity affects flood zone designations across a significant portion of the county — FEMA Elevation Certificates are a routine requirement for properties near the bays, the Sound, and the ocean, both for insurance purposes and for permitting on new construction and additions.
The county also has extensive wetland coverage, both tidal and freshwater, and properties that sit near regulated wetlands require accurate boundary and topographic data before any development work can move forward. Lot sizes vary dramatically across Suffolk’s ten towns — from tight suburban lots in the west to large parcels in the east where coverage limits and clearing calculations factor heavily into site planning.
Survey Services We Provide Throughout Suffolk County
Aerial Land Surveying offers a full range of survey services for residential, commercial, vacant land, and mixed-use properties across the county. Each project is handled with a combination of ground-based and aerial data collection technology, which allows for faster turnaround times and a high degree of accuracy regardless of site conditions.
The surveys we provide in Suffolk County include:
- Title Surveys — Confirm that property boundaries match what is on record, identify any encroachments, and satisfy the requirements of title companies and lenders.
- Boundary Surveys — Establish or confirm the legal boundaries of a parcel, often needed for disputes, fencing, additions, or zoning compliance.
- FEMA Elevation Certificates — Required for flood insurance rating and frequently needed for permits on coastal and low-lying properties throughout Suffolk.
- Topographic Surveys — Map the contours and features of a site in detail, commonly used by engineers and architects during the design phase of a project.
- ALTA Surveys — The most comprehensive survey type, required for most commercial real estate transactions and providing a complete picture of the property’s boundaries, improvements, easements, and encroachments.
- Health Department Surveys — Required by the Suffolk County Department of Health Services for septic system permits, well locations, and other regulated site work.
- Property Corner and Boundary Stakeouts — Physical placement of markers at property corners, used for fencing, construction setbacks, and neighbor disputes.
- Subdivision and Lot Split Surveys — Required when dividing a parcel into two or more lots, with approval needed through the applicable town planning board.
Each of these services is available throughout Suffolk County’s ten towns — Babylon, Islip, Brookhaven, Smithtown, Huntington, Riverhead, Southampton, East Hampton, Southold, and Shelter Island.
Who We Work With in Suffolk County
Aerial Land Surveying works with a wide range of clients across the county. Real estate attorneys and title companies rely on us for title surveys and ALTA surveys as part of residential and commercial transactions. Developers and contractors use our topographic and boundary data to plan and execute projects efficiently. Homeowners come to us for elevation certificates, property corner stakeouts, and surveys needed ahead of permit applications.
For builders working on multiple projects throughout the county, we offer a Builder’s Package that bundles the surveys typically needed across the course of a development project — including an existing conditions survey, foundation stakeout, and final survey — into a single coordinated engagement.
