Many people wish to know where there boundary lines are, or know more about the land they purchase before they even finalize a purchase of the property. In some States, it is required.
The list below may give you some more ideas about why and when you would benefit from a Land Survey |
|---|
| When buying land and you do not clearly know where the property line is on the ground. |
| When selling land and you do not clearly know where the property line is on the ground. |
| When land is not clearly defined by a plat, legal description, or older Land Survey. |
| When you cannot be certain of the location of your property corners. |
| When building, Land Surveying often used to determine drainage, setbacks, and proper planning by many. |
| Before land is divided. When a lending institution requires a survey for a mortgage. |
| Before building a fence, building, shed, or anything close to an unknown property line. |
| Before timber is to be cut near a property line. |
| When purchasing title insurance. |
| When applying for a "Torrens Title" to "register" you and your land title. |
| Whenever a boundary line or corner is unknown or in disagreement. |
| To settle a boundary dispute of some type. |
| When you think you might have an encroachment on your land. |
| When clearing or doing construction in "wetland" areas in the jurisdiction of the Corps of Engineers. |
| Before developing property. |
Many times, an Attorney, Bank or title insurance agent will require that a Land Surveyor clear up an ambiguous land description, or verify the location of structures on the property so that the lending institution can agree to finalize a loan. |
