Boundary surveys aim to find, identify,
measure, analyze and report the location of a land's boundary lines and reveal
any encroachments that are present on the land. The purpose of these surveys go
beyond merely accurately determining the measurements of your land. They can
retrace and map the title and be helpful when you need to meticulously analyze
the physical evidence of the boundaries according to local land standards,
legal principles, and state board requirements.
A boundary survey must be conducted in
accordance with industry and technical standards. Hence, you need to hire
reputable and experienced land surveyors to do it instead of measuring your
land by yourself. Professional land surveyors will observe your parcel of land
and go the extra mile by conducting surveys at county, state, and local
agencies or offices to locate maps, plans, wills, deeds, and other documents
that may define the rights and location of the land. With their help, you can
have detailed results from a thorough investigation of your land. Licensed
surveyors can help in boundary adjustment and land subdivision procedures, too,
making their services valuable to property and real estate developers.
Boundary surveys may be conducted if you
are selling a property, buying property, building a fence, adding a new room or
outdoor leisure area, expanding your home, or if you are dividing a parcel of
land. They can be conducted when obtaining or refinancing a mortgage. In case
of a dispute, the professional who will conduct the boundary survey can serve
as an expert witness in court as he or she assumes the full responsibility for
your survey's accuracy.
As the boundary
survey marks the boundaries of your property, you have an accurate way to
establish what size and area of land belongs to you. The results illustrate the
data about the property and any encroachments or easements, too. Professional
land surveyors use different methods to do a boundary survey based on the
requirements and size of your project.
