What We Do

Surveying services
built on precision

Boundary Surveys

Establishing your property lines with survey-grade accuracy. We locate monuments, measure angles, and deliver plats you can defend — whether you're buying, selling, or settling a dispute.

ALTA/NSPS Surveys

Comprehensive title-level surveys for commercial and residential closings. We document boundaries, easements, improvements, and encroachments per ALTA standards so your title company has everything it needs.

Subdivision Platting

From a single lot split to full residential developments, we handle the survey and plat preparation required by Johnson County and local municipalities — keeping your project on track and compliant.

Flood Elevation Certs

Building elevation certificates and flood zone determinations for NFIP compliance. We measure structures accurately and prepare the documentation your insurance agent or lender requires.

Construction Staking

Translating your blueprints into stakes on the ground. We lay out foundations, roads, utilities, and grading references so your crew builds exactly where the plans call for — the first time.

Title & Mortgage Surveys

Simplified boundary surveys for real estate transactions. We identify boundary lines, structures, and any visible encroachments — giving buyers, sellers, and lenders confidence at closing.

About Us

Rooted in Pomona,
trusted across the county

Cates Surveying was founded on a simple belief: a boundary survey should be as solid as the ground it measures. Based right here in Pomona, we've spent decades serving homeowners, builders, attorneys, and landowners throughout Johnson County and the surrounding area.

We combine traditional surveying craftsmanship with modern GPS and total station technology — because the best tool is the one that gives you the most accurate answer, not the one that looks newest on the truck.

Whether it's a residential lot line dispute, a commercial ALTA survey, or a subdivision plat, we treat every project with the same care we'd give our own property. That's why so many families and businesses in this community have trusted us for generations.
