What is a property survey?

A property survey is a professional inspection and measurement of land that determines the exact boundaries, dimensions, and physical features of a property. It is conducted by licensed surveyors to verify legal property limits and identify structures, easements, or encroachments.

What a Property Survey Includes

  • Boundary lines and measurements
  • Land dimensions and area
  • Existing structures and improvements
  • Easements and access rights
  • Encroachments or overlaps

Types of Property Surveys

Boundary Survey

Determines the legal boundaries of a property and helps avoid disputes.

Topographic Survey

Maps land elevation, terrain, and natural or man-made features.

Construction Survey

Used before and during development projects to guide accurate construction.

Subdivision Survey

Divides a large parcel of land into smaller plots for development or sale.

A property survey is a critical legal and technical process in real estate transactions. It ensures accurate land records, protects ownership rights, and reduces the risk of future disputes.
