A survey is a good investment

Professional land surveying involves less time and expenses than moving a building, revising land development plans or defending a land boundary dispute in court.


To prevent unnecessary costs and inconvenience, give us a call prior to any land investments and property developments.

What exactly is a property survey?

A property survey describes maps and locates land ownership boundaries, corners, features and improvements.

 

Land and its improvements are major financial investments; therefore, boundaries should be located and mapped by a property survey and filed in public records.

When should property be surveyed?

A property should be surveyed when:

- It is divided into parcels

- It is to be sold, purchased or mortgaged

- Improvements are planned or developed

- Government regulations require a survey

 and map of your property

- Boundaries or corners are uncertain

- Property trespass is evidenced or suspected

What will the surveyor do for me?

- The legal description of your property and related records will be evaluated and a survey

 made to locate, measure and monument the property boundaries and corners so they can

 be easily identified

- A record of survey measurements notes and computations will be made, a survey plat or

 map prepared for public records, and copies provided as may be required

- The property survey will be completed in compliance with applicable state, county and local

 government laws, codes and regulations

- You will be informed of the discovery of any property description, boundary location,

 trespass, encroachment or other related problems that you should be aware of

- Upon completion of the property survey, it is recommended that the boundary corner

 monuments be protected and preserved by the property owner

What information will the surveyor need?

- A copy of property deeds, abstract of title or title insurance commitment and maps and

 other available information relating to the property

- If necessary, meet the Land Surveyor at the survey site for inspection or consultation

- Consult with the Land Surveyor at the earliest opportunity; in some cases a survey may

 require several weeks to complete
