Nassau County is one of the most densely developed counties in the United States, and that density shapes everything about how land surveying works here.
Lots are smaller, setbacks are tighter, neighbors are closer, and the margin for error on any boundary question is essentially zero. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to add a structure, a real estate attorney closing a transaction, or a developer assembling parcels in one of the county’s many built-out communities, accurate survey data isn’t optional — it’s the foundation everything else is built on.
Aerial Land Surveying provides land survey services throughout Nassau County for residential and commercial clients, with a hybrid approach that combines aerial and ground-based data collection to deliver fast, accurate results.
Nassau County’s Survey Landscape
The towns and villages of Nassau County — Hempstead, North Hempstead, and Oyster Bay, along with the two cities of Long Beach and Glen Cove — each have their own municipal requirements, building departments, and zoning codes. What’s required for a permit application in one jurisdiction may differ from what’s needed a few blocks away in another. That local complexity is something Aerial Land Surveying navigates regularly.
The South Shore communities along the bays and the barrier islands also face ongoing flood zone considerations. Properties in communities like Long Beach, Island Park, Oceanside, and Baldwin are frequently subject to FEMA Elevation Certificate requirements for insurance rating and permit work, particularly following any improvements to the structure. On the North Shore, larger parcels in communities like Oyster Bay, Locust Valley, and Glen Cove introduce different considerations around topography, lot coverage, and easements.
Survey Services Available Throughout Nassau County
Aerial Land Surveying provides a full range of land survey services for properties of all types across Nassau County. Residential transactions, commercial real estate closings, permit applications, and construction projects each call for different data — and we provide the surveys that deliver it.
Services available throughout Nassau County include:
- Title Surveys — Required for most real estate transactions, confirming that boundaries match recorded deeds and identifying encroachments or other issues that affect title.
- Boundary Surveys — Establish the precise legal boundaries of a parcel, often requested before fencing, additions, or when a boundary dispute arises with a neighbor.
- FEMA Elevation Certificates — Particularly relevant for South Shore properties in flood zones, required for insurance rating and frequently needed ahead of permit approvals.
- Topographic Surveys — Provide detailed contour and feature mapping used by engineers and architects in the design phase of construction and site development projects.
- ALTA Surveys — The most comprehensive survey available, required for commercial transactions and providing a complete record of boundaries, improvements, encroachments, and easements.
- Health Department Surveys — Required for Nassau County Department of Health applications related to septic systems, well placement, and other regulated site conditions.
- Property Corner and Boundary Stakeouts — Physical marking of property corners, useful for fence installations, construction setbacks, and resolving neighbor disputes that come up frequently on Nassau County’s tightly spaced lots.
- Subdivision and Lot Split Surveys — Required when dividing a parcel, subject to applicable town or village planning board review.
Nassau County’s compact lot sizes and complex municipal landscape make accurate survey data especially important — there is very little room for assumptions when structures are this close to property lines.
