What is usually included in a boundary survey for my property?
A. All of your property corners will be measured and the results compared to the legal description in your deed and/or any recorded subdivision map for your property. In addition, some of your neighbor’s corners may also be measured to check for possible overlaps or gaps generated by faulty or incomplete legal descriptions, particularly when there is evidence that there may be encroachments or improvements that cross the property lines. New survey markers will be placed when corners markers are missing, and the new marker will contain the identification and license number of our Professional Land Surveyor, and painted wooden stakes will be placed next to all monuments. The lines between monuments are flagged with surveyor’s ribbon, and all major improvements such as the house, driveway, and sheds, for example, are located and shown on the final map, which is a complete record of the survey work performed.
