Residential Property Surveys
Understanding the boundaries and features of a property is crucial in real estate transactions in Texas, making property surveys by licensed surveyors a vital step.
What is a Residential Title Survey?
A residential land title survey is a comprehensive evaluation and mapping of a residential property's boundaries, features, and significant land attributes. Carried out by a professional surveyor, this survey pinpoints the exact placement of homes, outbuildings, and other improvements on the parcel. Essential for confirming the legal boundaries of a residential property, the land title survey offers an accurate representation of the property involved in real estate transactions, ensuring that buyers and sellers are fully informed about the specifics of the land they are dealing with.
Why is a Property Survey Necessary?
A property survey provides a legal outline of the property's boundaries and permanent structures, essential for buyers, sellers, or those refinancing. It helps all parties involved understand the exact boundaries and features of the land being transacted.

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.
