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
