A City of Los Angeles (LADBS) correction that requests a survey can hold up your plan check. Send us the correction — we’ll provide the survey LADBS is asking for and get you ready to resubmit.
Tell us what the city, county, architect, or engineer requested — we’ll help determine whether you need boundary, topo, setback, hillside, or permit survey support. Call now to discuss your project.
For properties inside the City of Los Angeles, building permits are reviewed by the Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). When an LADBS correction asks you to provide a survey, show property lines, provide existing topography, or verify setbacks, the reviewer needs measured proof before they can clear that item. A professional survey is how you supply it.
Send us the exact wording — we’ll match it to the right survey.
Parcels inside the City of Los Angeles go through LADBS; unincorporated areas and some processes go through Los Angeles County, and neighboring cities run their own departments. The reviewing agency changes the paperwork, not the underlying measurement — we prepare deliverables suited to LADBS resubmittal.
