Professional Land Surveying Services in Homer

With over 35 years of land surveying experience, I’ve done many different types of surveying all over Alaska. i currently specialize in boundary marking and subdivisions in the homer Service area.

Surveying Services

  • Subdivisions

    Want to subdivide your land in the Kenai Peninsula Borough (KPB)? After a brief initial research on your land, I can talk to you about what you want to do with it and then give you a price range estimate. Fairly often it is helpful to meet in person to look at a map and discuss your property. I ask that you sign a work order and provide half of the lower end of the price range as down payment before beginning the field work. Once we have a subdivision design, we can create a preliminary plat to submit to KPB and get the process rolling. The whole process typically takes 6 months to a year. See the FAQ page for more information.

  • Property Corner and line marking

    For a variety of reasons, a land owner may want their corners and/or their property lines marked, typically with survey lath and flagging. They may wisely want to know their boundaries prior to building a house or fence or improvement, or buying or selling the property. This service is not strongly regulated and is largely up to the land owner on what they need or want to pay for. This service could also include replacing a missing monument.

  • Mortgage location surveys aka asbuilts

    These surveys are usually required when the bank is involved with a property that is being bought, sold, refinanced or some other action that could affect the bank’s investment. It insures that the improvements (house, garage, well, etc) are on the correct property, not encroaching on another property, as well as not being encroached upon by adjacent landowners. I follow the standards set forth by the ASPLS for mortgage location surveys in this link: ASPLS Mortgage Location Survey Standards.

  • Zoning Permit (partial) asbuilts for City of Homer

    This a similar to the mortgage location surveys, required by the City of Homer, but with less stringent requirements and at a slightly lower cost. The following is from City Code: 1.70.040 Permit terms.

    b. A zoning permit for a building or structure shall require the applicant to submit to the City Planner an as-built survey, completed by a licensed surveyor, of the location, foundation, dimensions, and proximity to all lot lines of all buildings and structures covered by the permit, promptly after completion of the work. [Ord. 20-03 § 1, 2020; Ord. 08-29, 2008].

  • Topographic

    A topographic (topo) survey is used to create a three dimensional model of the land. Sometimes the architect or engineer may ask for a topo survey for design purposes on their project. It is often associated with commercial building design or construction.

TESTIMONIALS

  • When I was expanding my building I realized that I needed to locate the property line and a utility easement before I could start my foundation. I contacted Christopher and he fit me in right away! I was so happy with the results. The attention to detail, the communication about everything we needed to consider, the fair price, the fast response!

  • Christopher surveyed a very rugged and remote terrain for me. He was professional in his communication and conscientious in all details of getting borough approval, delicate in his handling of contentious personalities. I'm grateful for his efforts.

  • While preparing to sell my property, I was instructed by my realtor to get an as-built, and I'm glad I did. Mullikin Surveys quickly responded and came out within a few days. While surveying the property, he noted that my retaining wall was about a foot over on the neighbors’ property. Christopher prepared a diagram to help acquire the easement necessary to keep the retaining wall in place. Thanks to Mullikin Surveys for timely response, great service and fair price.

  • I needed an as-built survey for the city of Homer for my lot and new construction that had been completed. Christopher had it done almost immediately after finding out exactly what the city of Homer required. He took care of it all . Thankfully it was the easiest part of the project

  • We hired Mullikin Surveys for a survey of a property we were selling. Having limited time to get the survey completed for the sale, they were prompt in answering our inquiries and getting our property in their queue. Despite deep snow and cold temperatures, the survey was completed quickly. Christopher Mullikin was professional and explained things well. I highly recommend Mullikin Surveys and would most definitely use them again.

  • I retained Mullikin Surveys to conduct a boundary survey in 2022 on my lot in Fritz Creek, AK. Chris Mullikin, Chief Surveyor, was very responsive and completed the work in the time he estimated. He allowed me to help out as his Field Assistant, thus reducing the total cost of the project. I would highly recommend Mullikin Surveys for survey projects.
