Land Surveys

Whether you are building a new home, remodeling, or selling your home, a survey of your property can be very beneficial. When a land surveyor is hired to perform a survey, he will do several things. One of the first things he will do is to research, through several sources including the County Clerk’s office, in order to gather information about anything that affects the property and it’s boundaries. The surveyor will then perform a field survey of the property. He will find any physical evidence that will affect the boundaries as well as note any improvements made. After all this has been done, the surveyor will determine where the property lines are based on his research and data. He will then put the data into the computer to verify and draw a plat.

There are various types of surveys that can be performed.

• A boundary survey is simply for the purpose of locating the boundaries and corners of a piece of land.
• A topographical survey is used to locate elevations, land contours, streams, fences, etc.
• A subdivision survey divides the land into smaller pieces with their boundaries.
  
• A mortgage location survey must meed the requirements for title insurance.

Whatever your reasons for considering a survey, remember to tell the surveyor. They can help you determine which survey is you need.
