What is a Boundary Survey?

A boundary survey is a professional assessment that precisely establishes the legal boundaries of a property. It identifies and marks the exact location of property lines, corners, and any encroachments that may exist. This type of survey is fundamental to property ownership and development, providing legal documentation of your land's extent and features.

Boundary surveys are typically required for:

  • Real estate transactions (buying or selling property)
  • Mortgage applications and refinancing
  • Construction projects (new buildings, additions, fences)
  • Resolving boundary disputes with neighbors
  • Subdivision of land
  • Obtaining building permits

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a boundary survey take to complete?
Most standard boundary surveys can be completed within 7-10 business days. However, timing can vary based on property size, complexity, and current workload. For urgent needs, we offer expedited services at an additional cost.
How long is a boundary survey valid?
Boundary surveys don't technically expire. However, most lenders and title companies prefer surveys less than 7-10 years old. If significant changes occur on your property or adjacent properties, a new survey may be needed regardless of age.
Will the survey show underground utilities?
Standard boundary surveys typically only show visible, above-ground utilities. For underground utility location, you would need a utility survey, which we can provide as an additional service.
Do I need to be present during the survey?
While not always necessary, it can be helpful if you or someone with access to the property is available when the surveyor arrives. This ensures they can access all areas of the property if needed. We'll coordinate timing with you before the site visit.
What if discrepancies are found between my deed and the actual property?
This is not uncommon. If discrepancies are found, our surveyors will document them on the survey. Depending on the nature of the issue, you may need to consult with a real estate attorney to resolve legal boundary questions.
