National Providers Serving Oregon (15)

National firms carry multi-state licensing and are usually the right call for portfolio deals spanning several states.

How to Choose a ALTA Survey Provider in Oregon

  • Oregon licensure. The survey must be sealed by a surveyor licensed in Oregon. Verify the licence, not just the firm's footprint.
  • Table A experience. Which optional items your lender requires drives both cost and schedule — see the Table A configurator.
  • Field crew availability. National firms sometimes subcontract Oregon fieldwork. Ask whether the crew is in-house.
  • Title company coordination. The surveyor needs the title commitment early; firms that chase it themselves save a week.
  • Record of survey requirements. Some states require a recorded survey, which adds cost and time. Confirm what applies in Oregon.

What Moves the Price in Oregon

Property type shifts ALTA Survey cost more than geography does. These carry the largest premiums over a standard commercial parcel:

Oregon ALTA Survey Cost by Parcel Size

After property type, acreage is the largest driver of an ALTA survey quote — more boundary to walk, more corners to set, more field days. Applied to Oregon pricing:

Parcel sizeMultiplierOregon cost
0-1 acres $3,450 – $9,200
1-5 acres 1.2× $4,140 – $11,040
5-10 acres 1.5× $5,175 – $13,800
10-25 acres $6,900 – $18,400
25-50 acres 2.5× $8,625 – $23,000
50+ acres $10,350 – $27,600

Oregon also requires the survey to be recorded, which adds roughly $1,500 in recording and preparation cost on top of the figures above. Confirm the recording fee is included in any quote you compare.

Turnaround and Rush Pricing in Oregon

Standard turnaround is about 14 days from engagement in Oregon. Rush service compresses that to roughly 5 days and prices at $5,175–$13,800 — a 50% premium. The binding constraint is usually the title commitment and field crew scheduling, so getting the title work moving early buys more time than paying a rush premium.

Ask any Oregon provider what their quoted turnaround actually starts from — engagement, retainer receipt, or receipt of the title commitment. That definition is where most schedule disputes come from.

Lender Survey Requirements

Which lender is financing the Oregon deal determines both the Table A items your surveyor must include and how recently the survey must be dated. A survey that ages out has to be re-certified or re-run:

LenderTable A itemsSurvey age limit
Fannie Mae Multifamily 14 360 days before recording
Freddie Mac Multifamily 14 90 days before Note date
SBA 7(a) Loan 14 Per title company requirements
SBA 504 Loan 14 Per title company requirements
HUD/FHA Multifamily 19 90 days for new surveys
CMBS (Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities) 15 Typically 180 days
Conventional Commercial 11 Varies by lender

Confirm the requirement set before you commission the survey — adding a Table A item after fieldwork usually means a second site visit. The Table A configurator builds the exact item list for your lender.
