Boundary Survey Resources
What is a Boundary Survey?
A boundary survey identifies, locates, and documents the precise boundaries and corners of a property.
The process typically includes research of property records and deeds, field measurements, analysis of existing monuments and improvements, and professional surveying calculations. The completed survey shows the property boundaries and other relevant conditions discovered during the survey.
Boundary surveys are completed under the direction of a professional surveyor licensed in the state where the property is located.
Boundary Surveys Show:
Depending on the property and scope of work, a boundary survey may identify:
-
Property lines and boundary corners
-
Address, parcel numbers, and deed references
-
Acreage or square footage of the property
-
Houses, barns, and other permanent structures in relation to property lines
-
Fences, driveways, buildings, or other improvements that may cross or encroach on a boundary
-
Existing survey monuments and other relevant property information
Boundary surveys are also the initial step in subdividing or consolidating a property.
It is recommended that a boundary survey be completed prior to any building or improvement on a lot to ensure that construction does not cross onto a neighboring property.
When Do You Need a Boundary Survey?
A boundary survey can be valuable whenever knowing the exact location of a property line matters.
Property owners, buyers, businesses, and development teams may request a boundary survey before:
-
Building a home, addition, garage, fence, or other improvement
-
Purchasing or selling property
-
Planning a commercial or residential development
-
Resolving uncertainty about a property line
-
Addressing a potential encroachment
-
Completing other work where accurate property boundaries are important
Having the property surveyed before construction or improvements begin can help identify boundary issues early and reduce the risk of building across a neighboring property line.
