From landmark homes in Pasadena's historic districts to foothill lots near the San Gabriel foothills, we provide accurate boundary, ADU, topographic, and ALTA surveys throughout Pasadena — built for additions, ADUs, and City of Pasadena permitting.
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.
Pasadena blends established neighborhoods of landmark and Craftsman homes with foothill lots rising toward the San Gabriel foothills. Many parcels sit in designated historic districts, while others slope along the hillside — and each brings its own boundary, grading, and setback questions. We tailor the survey to the property in front of us, whether it's a historic home, a hillside lot, or an addition on an established parcel.
Properties in Pasadena are generally permitted through the City of Pasadena planning and building departments, with recorded maps and legal descriptions handled by the Los Angeles County Recorder. Homes in designated historic districts may fall under historic-preservation overlays, and foothill lots can add grading and slope considerations. We prepare deliverables suited to these local requirements.
Yes. Pasadena has many landmark homes and designated historic districts, and projects there can involve historic-preservation overlays. A boundary survey helps confirm lot lines before you plan any change to a landmark or contributing property.
Yes. Lots near the San Gabriel foothills often sit on slopes, which usually call for a topographic survey to capture grade and elevation so your designer and the building department can review the site accurately.
Yes. Additions and ADUs on established lots typically need a setback survey, and sometimes a topographic survey, so placement can be confirmed against the building department's requirements.
Properties in Pasadena are generally permitted through the City of Pasadena planning and building departments; recorded maps and legal descriptions go through the Los Angeles County Recorder. Historic-preservation overlays may also apply.
Survey work is completed by, or under the responsible charge of, California-licensed Professional Land Surveyors. When a stamped survey is required, the final deliverable will identify the responsible licensee for that project.
