| Frequently Asked Questions |
When do I need a survey?
Prior to purchasing land to insure what you are buying:
Prior to installing fences, building a house or other types of construction:
Prior to dividing land into smaller parcels:
When you sell a parcel of land not previously surveyed:
To verify acreage for tax assessment:
When you believe someone is encroaching on your land.
How much does a survey cost?
Fees for land surveys vary depending upon the scope of work performed. Variables may include the type of survey required, terrain conditions, the Surveyor's knowledge of the area, the availability of land record information and existing monuments and the liability incurred by the Surveyor.
Can the Surveyor guarantee where my property lines are?
No.
When a surveyor performs a survey, you are obtaining a professional opinion based upon the best available evidence, both on the ground and through research, as to where your property is.
How do I choose a Surveyor?
The choice of a surveyor is much like retaining an attorney or choosing a doctor. Take into consideration the reputation and experience of qualified candidates along with availability, time constraints and fees.
Should I record the survey?
You may wish to record the map of your lot or boundary survey, though it is not required. All subdivision plats and surveys that create a new parcel of land must be recorded.
