Land surveys are helpful and required in several different situations. Below are some examples of situations where you would want to hire a professional land surveyor.
- Adding and/or building: You’ll need to know where your property’s boundaries and utility lines are if you want to expand your home or build additional buildings on your land.
- Buying flood insurance: Many insurance companies require an elevation certificate to determine your home’s risk of flooding before they’ll set a premium.
- Buying a home: Learning as much as possible about the property or home you’re buying will help you make an informed decision. This isn't required to purchase, however if you are buying a large piece of property or concerned about adjacent property structures, having a survey completed is recommended.
- Creating subdivisions: To divide your property into multiple lots, you’ll need a land survey and the associated documentation.
- Putting up a fence: Ensure any fencing you put up is well within your property lines.
- Settling property disputes: Part of being a good neighbor is knowing where your property ends and theirs begins.
- Starting new construction: A vacant lot will require a survey to ensure the project is located within the property boundary.
- Refinancing: Some land characteristics change over time. If you haven’t had a boundary survey in 5 to 10 years, the bank may require one if you want to refinance your home.
A boundary survey is a type of land survey that determines the exact location of property lines and corners of a piece of land.
A land title survey is a type of boundary survey that is used to establish the legal boundaries of a property and ensure that there are no conflicts or discrepancies in the property's title.
