When Do You Need a Residential Lot Survey?
A residential lot survey can be useful whenever you need reliable information about the location, boundaries, or characteristics of your property. Common situations include:
Buying or Selling Property
A survey can provide important information about property boundaries and other conditions that may be relevant during a real estate transaction.
Building a New Home
Before construction begins, understanding the property boundaries and relevant site information can help with planning and positioning the proposed home.
Building a Fence
A survey can help identify property boundaries before installing a fence, reducing the possibility of placing improvements on the wrong property.
Adding an Addition
Planning a garage, addition, driveway, pool, or other improvement may require accurate information about your property.
Property Boundary Questions
If you’re uncertain about where your property begins or ends, a professional survey can provide information based on property records and field measurements.
Purchasing Land
A survey can provide useful information when evaluating a property and determining whether its boundaries and characteristics are consistent with your expectations.
What Information Does a Residential Lot Survey Provide?
The specific information provided by a residential lot survey depends on the purpose and requirements of the project. Surveying typically involves researching available property records and performing field measurements to establish relevant property information.
Depending on the project, the resulting survey may identify property boundaries, corners, monuments, improvements, easements, rights-of-way, and other features relevant to the requested survey.
