Azimuth Surveying

Azimuth Surveying was founded by Bill Shull in 1972. Over the years, Mr. Shull developed a strong reputation for quality surveys done to exacting standards. Jim Hepler took over operations in 2000, and continues the tradition of uncompromising quality. Azimuth currently employs four people, who have a breadth of experience and knowledge in surveying.

Azimuth Surveying offers a variety of services, some of which are listed on the right. However, even if you don't see a specific service listed, it's probable that we can do it. Please call our office to find out. We give free estimates on all jobs; the estimated cost will not be exceeded.

However, for an accurate estimate, we need a copy of the deed of the property to be surveyed, a county Tax Lot number, or a Lot & Block number from the subdivision, if applicable.We will conduct the research necessary to appraise the difficulty of surveying in the area, and arrive at a cost.

In a boundary survey, we will locate the boundaries of your property through a combination of research and field work. The deed determines what you own; we will examine your deed, as well as deeds of neighbouring properties, for conflicting calls, and resolve them in a equitable way. Usually, a survey has already been done nearby, giving evidence of the location of the boundary.

For cases where you are dividing a single tract of land into two or three parcels, or combining multiple tracts into one, a Partition Plat is required. These require prior approval from the appropriate city or county Planning Department. Once you obtain the conditions of approval, we will follow them in our survey.

When dividing land into more than 3 tracts, a subdivision plat is required. These require prior approval from the appropriate city or county Planning Department. Once you obtain the conditions of approval, we will follow them in our survey.

This type of survey will include a boundary survey of the land, setting monuments at new parcel corners, replacement of existing corners if necessary, recording of the plat with the County Surveyor, and copies of the plat for the client.For most projects, a topographic survey for the engineering work is done and sent to the engineer of the client's choosing.
