Land Surveying

The City of West Allis or its staff cannot perform property surveys, mark lot corners, or mark and establish lot lines. These procedures cannot be done by the City of West Allis or its staff due to legal liability.

The National Society of Professional Surveys (NSPS) has distributed a pamphlet which will help property owners know when to hire a surveyor.  You can view the document here.

The property owner is solely responsible for hiring a professional land surveyor or land surveying company and negotiating fees for their services.

The City of West Allis has an extensive database of Plats of Surveys on file in the Building Inspection Office.  Residents may find additional information here:
