At South Texas Surveying, we understand that Boundary Surveys are much more than simple measurements of land. Our approach involves extensive research into public records, deeds, and previous surveys to determine accurate boundary lines. This process not only involves physical measurement but also a thorough investigation to uncover the legal description of your property - the official written account of a property's boundaries.

What is a Boundary Survey?

A Boundary Survey is a detailed process that determines the exact boundaries of a property. It involves physical measurements and research into historical documents and public records to establish the precise limits of the property, often including a legal description.

Ensuring Accurate Land Surveys

By precisely understanding where your property's boundaries lie, we provide an accurate land survey, crucial in preventing potential future disputes and issues. Our focus on the legal description and historical data guarantees the reliability of our surveys, giving you peace of mind in your property investments.

Why Do I Need a Boundary Survey?

Generally, boundary surveys are required when purchasing, selling, or developing land. We provide the standard surveys requested by title companies, and realtors/lenders. These re-establish the boundary and show all permanent improvements in relation to the property lines, known easements, and known setbacks. Once all the necessary information is gathered and analyzed, our surveyors will present a drawing detailing the boundaries.

What are the different types of boundary surveys to choose from?

There are several different types of boundary surveys, such as cadastral surveys, ALTA/NSPS land title surveys, Category 1A Surveys and Land Title Surveys. The choice depends on the specific needs and requirements of the client and their project.

Common Questions about Land Surveying

What is land surveying and why is it important?

Land surveying is the process of measuring and mapping the physical features of a piece of land. This includes determining boundaries, marking property lines, and identifying natural and man-made features such as hills, streams, and buildings. Land surveying is essential for a variety of reasons, including property ownership, construction and development projects, and legal disputes.

What are some common methods used in land surveying?

There are several methods used in land surveying, including Global Positioning System (GPS) surveying, terrestrial surveying, and aerial surveying. GPS surveying uses satellites to accurately determine the location of points on the earth's surface, while terrestrial surveying involves taking measurements on the ground using a variety of tools and equipment. Aerial surveying uses aircraft or drones to capture images and data from above.

How much does land surveying cost and how long does it take?

The cost and duration of land surveying can vary widely depending on factors such as the size and complexity of the property, the type of surveying method used, and the location. Generally, land surveying can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars and can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to complete. It is important to obtain multiple quotes from qualified surveyors before selecting a provider to ensure that you receive a fair price and accurate results.
