What Is A Professional Survey? 

Land Surveying is the science and technology of precisely determining and recording areas of land. Surveying has been an essential element in the development of the human environment since the beginning of recorded history and is a requirement in the planning and execution of nearly every form of construction.

There are many different types of surveys ranging from simple to complex.

When Are Survey's Used?

​Surveys are good for a wide range of scenarios:

• When you purchase land – to protect your investment and ensure the boundaries
• When you sell land – to make sure you sell the intended part or whole of the property
• When land is not clearly defined by a plat or description
• Before land is divided by deed, will or court order
• Before constructing improvements – fences, driveways or buildings, among others 
• When a parcel of land is to be conveyed from a larger tract
• Before timber is cut near a boundary line
• When a property line or corner location is in dispute or unknown
• When you believe your land is being encroached or intruded upon
• To remove your home from a flood zone
• To clear title work exceptions  

What Is The Cost For A Survey?

​Survey costs vary and are tied to a number of factors:

• Type and clarity of descriptions
