Private property surveys

Surveys Clark County surveyors working in the field.

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

This office requires 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 may be sent via email in a PDF or similar format to: surveyreview@clark.wa.gov. However, there will be a charge per the fee schedule below for the Surveyor’s Office to print a copy for review, and return via email. This fee will be payable at the time of Mylar submittal. Please note this email address is only for 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. Please make checks payable to: Clark County Surveyor’s Office. Mylar and checks may be delivered to the Surveyor’s Office, Fourth Floor, Public Service Center, 1300 Franklin St., Vancouver, WA, or mailed to:

Clark County Surveyor’s Office
Fourth Floor, Public Service Center
P.O. Box 9810

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, short plats and condominiums

There is no additional charge for the County Surveyor's Office's review of subdivisions and short plats.
