Why or when would I need my Land Surveyed?
When buying land and you do not clearly know where the property line is on
the ground.
When selling land and you do not clearly know where the property line is
on the ground.
When land is not clearly defined by a plat, legal description, or older Land
Survey.
When you cannot be certain of the location of your property corners.
When building, Land Surveying is often used to determine drainage, setbacks,
and proper planning by many.
Before land is divided. When a lending institution requires a survey for
a mortgage.
Before building a fence, building, shed, or anything close to an unknown
property line.
Before timber is to be cut near a property line.
When purchasing title insurance.
When applying for a "Torrens Title" to "register" you and your land title.
Whenever a boundary line or corner is unknown or in disagreement.
To settle a boundary dispute of some type.
When you think you might have an encroachment on your land.
When clearing or doing construction in "wetland" areas in the jurisdiction
of the Corps of Engineers.
Before developing property.
Many times, an attorney, bank or title insurance agent will require that
a Land Surveyor clear up an ambiguous land description, or verify the location of structures on the property so that the lending
institution can agree to finalize a loan.
