A Land Survey is a generic label for a survey. If you keep reading, you will see that there are lots of various kinds of surveys. Let's try to answer the most common questions. What is a Property Survey? A Property Survey is a document typically supplied by a licensed land surveyor or an engineering company which employees certified surveyors. This document will consist of a drawing which displays property lines (boundaries) and characteristics within the surveyed area. This could be building(s) (residential or commercial), placement of easements utilized by utility companies (cable, telephone, power, sewage as well as public easements), and so on.
Property surveys for the most part are required by law and should be recorded at your local courthouse in the recorder of deeds branch. Surveyor professionals are required to be certified in the state, that the property is located in.
What is the Cost of a Survey? The below items will play a role in the effort a professional survey engineer will encounter when providing a property survey.
1. Has your land been surveyed? If so do you have a copy of the survey? This is important because with a recent survey, the surveying engineer can locate landmarks used to determine boundaries.
If there is NOT a recent survey, research has to be conducted to locate your property. Sometimes this may include getting public records of neighbors surrounding your property. If there are no surveys, your boundaries will have to be established, which will result in more surveying work.
2. Are there a lot of trees and brush on your property? If your property is saturated with many trees in the area, it may become difficult to utilize GPS applications useful to confirm a place. In addition, when a property has a lot of brush, trees or obstacles, it might be difficult to locate survey stakes or landmarks.
