What Is a Boundary Survey?
Boundary Surveys are more complex than simply measuring the physical boundaries of the land. Before defining the parcel’s boundary, surveyors must conduct extensive research into public records, deeds, and prior records to accurately determine the boundary lines. Understanding exactly where your land’s property boundary is, will prevent potential future issues that may arise.
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.
