Los Angeles County · Land Surveying
This is a regional guide, not a city page: Los Angeles County's north spans the Santa Clarita and Antelope Valleys — master-planned suburbs, high-desert section lands, and broad unincorporated stretches. Start here, then use your community's own page for specifics.
This regional page routes you right — tell us the parcel's community and we will point to the exact scope. Call (213) 787-3342 to talk it through.
North of the San Fernando Valley, the county opens up: Santa Clarita's master-planned communities in their valley, Palmdale and Lancaster on the Antelope Valley's federal section grid, and between and beyond them some of the county's largest unincorporated territory — canyons, ranches, and desert parcels permitted by the county rather than any city.
We maintain dedicated pages for Santa Clarita, Palmdale, and Lancaster, each written to its own records and terrain. This regional page serves the connective tissue: parcels in unincorporated communities, projects spanning jurisdictions, and readers deciding which page — and which scope — fits their land.
Six services cover the region's regimes — tract precision, section-land research, and acreage support:
The region's parcels divide by regime. Santa Clarita's subdivisions are modern master-plan records; the Antelope Valley rests on township-and-range sections with aliquot and metes-and-bounds descriptions; and the unincorporated canyons and ranchland mix patents, old acreage divisions, and county-processed parcels. Identifying the regime is the first scoping act for any north-county land.
Unincorporated ground adds its own layer: Los Angeles County departments permit projects there, county road easements serve remote parcels, and legal access deserves verification before any purchase. We handle the region's full spread — city tract to desert section — and the city pages carry the community-specific depth.
Regional scopes are research-driven — these help most:
We identify the parcel's regime and jurisdiction, then scope research and fieldwork to match. The sequence is on our how it works page.

The county's northern region — the Santa Clarita Valley, the Antelope Valley, and the unincorporated land between and around them. It is a regional guide: Santa Clarita, Palmdale, and Lancaster each have dedicated pages with community-level detail, linked below.
If your parcel is in one of those cities, yes — each page is written to that community's records and terrain. This regional page earns its keep for unincorporated parcels, multi-jurisdiction projects, and land that no single city page describes.
Los Angeles County's departments — public works, planning, and building — rather than any city hall. The records are county records either way; what changes is the review counter. We build survey deliverables for county process routinely.
Yes — patent-era and old acreage descriptions are part of the north county's normal record diet, resolved by recovering the controlling corners and reading the chain forward. It is research-heavy work we scope candidly, and the resulting boundaries are as firm as any tract's.
As one survey with two review audiences — the boundary and mapping are seamless, and we prepare exhibits for each jurisdiction's process. The parcel fabric ignores the city limit; the paperwork just needs to respect it, and we build it that way.
Survey scope and deliverables depend on title records, site conditions, and what your project requires. Call (213) 787-3342 to discuss the property and the survey you need.
