Surveys, Subdivisions, Short Plats

Submitting a record of survey, subdivision or short plat for review and recording.

Private property surveys

Clark County does not survey private property and cannot recommend professional surveyors. To find a surveyor, please refer to the Yellow Pages or online resources.

Surveys and condominiums

Surveys and condominiums are submitted directly to the County Surveyor’s Office for review and recording.

This office requests a paper copy be submitted for preliminary review/redlining. If a paper copy is not submitted, redlines will be made directly on the Mylar. The reviewed copy will be available for pickup at the Surveyor's Office Records Center. There is no charge for the review process.

A review copy can be sent via email in a PDF or similar format to: surveyreview@clark.wa.gov. However, there will be charges per the fee schedule below for the Surveyor's Office to print a review copy, scan it and return the review copy by email. The fees will be payable at the time of Mylar submittal. Please note this email address is for only submitting a record of survey for review.

After the required corrections (if any) are made, submit a Mylar for recording, along with the recording fee and the original reviewed copy.

If you need copies of the recorded Mylar, you may send a paper copy(s) to be marked as the recorded survey or, for a per copy fee, we will photocopy the recorded Mylar.

Subdivisions and short plats

The County Surveyor's Office provides a review of subdivisions and short plats per the checklist below, as part of the overall submittal and review process required by Clark County Community Development or by the incorporated city in which the plan is located. There is no additional charge for the County Surveyor's Office's review of subdivisions and short plats.
