Definitive Survey Costs Vary by Up to Twofold Between Urban and Rural Areas: Mycat Analyzes Regional Disparities Based on Japan Federation of Land and House Investigators' Association Statistics to Improve Cost Diagnostic Features

Mycat Inc. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo) announces that it has analyzed regional disparities in land survey costs based on compensation statistics published by the Japan Federation of Land and House Investigators' Association. The company will incorporate these findings into the cost calculation logic of its survey cost diagnostic service (https://sokuryo.xyz) and plans to add a feature to visualize cost trends by region.

Structural Factors Behind Regional Survey Cost Disparities

According to the compensation statistics from the Japan Federation of Land and House Investigators' Association, the cost of a definitive survey ranges widely from 300,000 to 800,000 yen, primarily due to the following factors:

• Number and type of adjacent properties: In urban areas, there are more adjacent properties per parcel, increasing the man-hours required for boundary confirmation.

• Presence of public-private assessment: Land facing public roads requires assessment of public-private boundaries, incurring an additional 150,000 to 450,000 yen.

• Difficulty of parcel boundary identification: In older residential areas, the loss rate of boundary markers is high, adding costs for restoration work.

Differences in Cost Structures Between Urban and Rural Areas

According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's "Status of Cadastral Surveys," the progress rate of cadastral surveys varies significantly by prefecture, with urban areas tending to have lower progress rates. In regions where cadastral surveys are incomplete, definitive surveys must be conducted again during sales or inheritance, increasing the financial burden.

The main factors for higher survey costs in urban areas are as follows:

• A large number of adjacent property owners, requiring time to coordinate boundary attendance.

• Frequent need for public-private assessment (high ratio of land adjacent to public land such as public roads and waterways).

• Irregular land shapes, which increase the man-hours required for surveying.

On the other hand, in rural areas, there are fewer adjacent properties and some regions have high cadastral survey progress rates, allowing some cases to be completed with a status survey (200,000 to 450,000 yen).

Reflecting Findings in Survey Cost Diagnostics

Our service combines over 1,200 diagnostic data points with official statistics to calculate costs while considering regional characteristics. Moving forward, we will add a feature that allows users to visually confirm cost trends by region, enabling landowners to establish more accurate cost projections.
