A fence goes up two feet over the property line and suddenly neighbours who used to wave at each other stop speaking. A land surveyor settles that kind of dispute with a stamped legal document, not an opinion. Here's who does that work well in Toronto, based on real Google data.
Short answer: C. Wahba Surveying Ltd. tops this list at 4.8 stars across 54 reviews, narrowly ahead of Genesis Land Surveying Inc. (also 4.8, 30 reviews) and Altimap (4.6, 42 reviews). These are small, specialized firms, so expect a custom quote rather than a posted price list; lot size and boundary complexity drive the cost more than anything else.

Our take: The highest combination of rating and volume on this list. Our default pick, especially if your property has any wrinkle, an easement, a shared driveway, an old survey that no longer matches reality.

Our take: The smallest review base on this list at 15, so treat its strong rating as an early signal rather than a long track record. Worth a call for a simple, no-frills boundary job.

Claim this spot › How we score
Rating is the live Google average. Review volume shows how many customers rated the firm, ranked against the others on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, all five firms here are still building their review base, so we’ve flagged where a strong average rests on a small sample. Recency checks how current the feedback is. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.
How much does a land survey cost in Toronto (2026)?
None of the five firms here publish a flat price list, and that’s normal for this trade: cost depends on lot size, whether existing boundary pins are missing or disputed, how urban or rural the property is, and whether the survey is needed for a building permit, a fence, or a legal dispute. Get quotes from at least two or three firms before choosing, since reviewers across this list consistently mention comparing multiple prices before booking.
Serving Toronto and the GTA
These firms are based across the wider GTA, Vaughan, North York, Etobicoke, Brampton, but all five work on properties throughout the City of Toronto itself, from downtown infill lots to suburban subdivisions in Scarborough and North York. If you’re searching for a land surveyor near me, expect a site visit regardless of which municipality the firm’s office sits in.
What to ask before you book a survey
- Are you licensed with the Association of Ontario Land Surveyors?
- What’s the difference between what I need, a Surveyor’s Real Property Report versus a full boundary survey?
- How long from booking to a stamped, finished document?
- Do you handle grading and permit-ready plans if I’m building an addition?
- Is your quote flat, or could it change once you’re on site?
- Can you point me to a similar job you’ve completed nearby?
Frequently asked questions
Are these rankings paid?
No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.
How did you choose these five surveyors?
We compared land surveying firms serving Toronto on their live Google rating, review volume, and how recently customers left feedback, then ranked them on that combined picture.
How often is this updated?
This page reflects Google data verified in July 2026. We recheck listings periodically as ratings and review counts change.
What is a Surveyor’s Real Property Report (SRPR)?
It’s a legal document showing your property’s boundaries, structures and easements, commonly requested by lenders, lawyers or municipalities. Several firms on this list list it as a core service.
Do I need a survey to build a fence, deck or addition in Toronto?
Many municipalities, including Toronto, ask for a current survey or site plan before approving certain permits. Check with the city or your surveyor directly before you apply, requirements vary by project.
The bottom line
C. Wahba Surveying is the safe default here, the best combination of rating and review volume, and reviewers specifically praise how it handles complicated properties. If your job is commercial, Genesis is worth a direct call too. Either way, get more than one quote first, these are all small firms and prices move with lot complexity.
