Land Survey Companies

Land Surveys can be confusing. People often find themselves wondering:

  • What exactly do Land Survey Companies do?
  • What are Land Surveys for?
  • Why would someone get a Land Survey?
  • Do I need to get a Land Survey?

 

Let’s go over what exactly a Land Survey Company is, and then go through four reasons why you might need to hire one.

 

In short, Land Survey Companies provide a visual depiction of a property. Depending on the purpose of a land survey, it can include several things about the property, e.g. topography, easements, infringements, notable geographical features, etc.

And it will always include a definition of the exact legal boundaries of the property. Also, they often include all improvements made to the property, things like pavement, buildings, fences, and the like.

Okay, so what are some reasons why it might be necessary to hire a Land Survey Company?
 

If you’re building a home:

State and local laws almost always require that a Land survey be conducted if you are building a home on your property. But it also can be an extremely useful aid for your building project.

A professional survey company will give you a large amount of vital information for building your home. And it is crucial in determining where to build the house and where to route drainage, and the layout of the land may change the layout of your designs.

 

If you are selling or buying property:

At times, confusion about a property tends to arise between the seller and buyer. Questions about legal boundaries versus advertised boundaries.

And legal limitations of the property that might not have been disclosed. A land survey company can clear all that confusion in an easy, and simple process.

 

If you need to resolve boundary disputes:

It is the age-old story of two neighbors. Where are the property lines? Trimming that tree is your responsibility! My addition is not over your property line! My property goes here, not there! Hiring a land survey company to survey the property will clear up any doubts and disputes about boundaries.
