Boundary & Subdivision Surveys

Services: Boundary & Subdivision Surveys

What are Boundary and Subdivision Surveys?

Boundary surveys determine the precise boundaries and dimensions of a property, establishing accurate property lines and identifying any encroachments or easements. Subdivision surveys further divide parcels into smaller, clearly defined lots for development or sale, ensuring compliance with zoning and local regulations.

Why Do You Need a Boundary or Subdivision Survey?

Whether you're buying, selling, subdividing, combining, developing, or improving property, clearly defined boundaries are essential to avoid costly disputes and legal complications. Accurate surveys ensure the protection of property rights and provide critical information for planning, development, and regulatory compliance.

Key Components of Boundary and Subdivision Surveys

  1. Land Records Research:

    A thorough examination of property deeds, historical records, and adjoining properties is conducted to accurately interpret original boundary descriptions.

  2. Field Reconnaissance and Survey:

    Surveyors perform an on-site investigation to locate existing boundary markers, such as monuments, iron rods, fences, walls, or other physical boundary indicators. Precise measurements are taken, and thorough data collection of property corner locations, boundary lines, and physical evidence uncovered during recon is performed.

  3. Analysis and Determination:

    Professional Licensed Surveyors, alongside a CAD team, evaluate field data against historical records and deeds to confirm or re-establish boundary lines, resolve discrepancies, and replace missing boundary markers.

  4. Subdivision Mapping (if included):

    CAD Team produces a clearly defined subdivision plat that complies with local zoning and regulatory requirements, ensuring accurate representation of newly created lots.

  5. Professional Plat Preparation:

    A comprehensive final plat, sealed and signed by a licensed professional land surveyor, clearly illustrates the verified boundaries, lot dimensions, easements, and other relevant property details.
