What a boundary survey includes
- Research of your deed, adjoining deeds, plats and earlier surveys
- Fieldwork to find existing corner monuments, and new monuments set where corners are missing
- Your property lines, buildings, fences, driveways and other improvements
- Recorded easements and any encroachments across the lines
- A signed and sealed survey drawing, certified by a Registered Professional Land Surveyor
When you need one
- Buying or selling. Most lenders and title companies require a current survey at closing. We show the easements listed in your title commitment (Schedule B items) and deliver on your closing deadline.
- Fences, pools and additions. Build inside your lines and setbacks, and off of utility easements.
- Neighbor questions. A survey shows where the line actually is before a disagreement turns into a dispute.
- Splitting or selling part of a tract. A boundary survey of the parent tract is usually the first step. See lot splits & subdivision.
For commercial property, we also prepare ALTA/NSPS land title surveys to lender and title company requirements.
What helps us quote faster
The property address or legal description, what the survey is for, the title commitment and GF number if you are closing, any earlier survey or plat, and your deadline.
