“Boundaries don’t act as barriers; they hold us together.”

A Boundary Survey is a crucial step in property ownership, ensuring that landowners clearly understand their property limits. Our licensed Professional Land Surveyors (PLS) utilize advanced surveying techniques, legal research, and precise fieldwork to mark and confirm property boundaries as per legal descriptions in deeds.

Why Do You Need a Boundary Survey?

A Boundary Survey is essential in various scenarios, including:

✅ Purchasing Property: Understanding property limits before buying ensures there are no encroachments or legal conflicts.

✅ Dividing Land: When splitting land for sale or inheritance, a survey ensures proper allocation of space.

✅ Construction Planning: Ensuring legal boundary lines before building fences, driveways, or structures prevents future disputes.

✅ Identifying Encroachments: Detecting unauthorized fences, buildings, sheds, pathways, or parking lots that may cross property lines.

✅ Legal Compliance: Certain municipalities require a Boundary Survey before issuing building permits.

✅ Tax Assessments & Dispute Resolution: A precise land survey helps in determining accurate land value and resolving boundary disputes with neighbors.

What Does a Boundary Survey Involve?

Our Boundary Survey process is thorough, ensuring legal and physical accuracy. Here’s how we do it:

1. Legal Research

We gather recorded land documents, deeds, and maps to determine the exact dimensions, shape, and legal status of the property. This research also identifies any discrepancies between recorded and existing boundaries.

2. Fieldwork & Data Collection

Our team visits the site to locate existing corner monuments, search for missing markers, and collect data on boundary evidence from adjoining properties. Advanced surveying tools ensure high accuracy.

3. Calculations & Analysis

Like assembling a puzzle, our surveyors evaluate discovered evidence against recorded documents, reconciling discrepancies and ensuring consistency.

4. Plat Drawing

A detailed plat drawing is created, showing precise property dimensions, detected boundary markers, and surveyor findings.

5. Property Marking & Validation

Once the boundary is confirmed, our surveyors set permanent boundary markers in locations lacking physical evidence. This ensures clarity for future reference.
