Boundary Surveys
Defining Property Lines with Precision
At L5 Development Services, we provide boundary surveys to accurately determine property lines, establish true property corners, and identify any easements or encroachments. These surveys help prevent disputes and ensure compliance with state and local regulations.
Why You Need a Boundary Survey
Boundary surveys are essential before buying, subdividing, improving, or building on land. Conducting a survey beforehand helps avoid legal disputes, costly corrections, and unexpected boundary issues.
How a Boundary Survey Works
Our process includes:
- Research & Records Review
- Examining historical property records, deeds, and maps
- Reviewing documents from county offices, historical associations, and transportation departments
- Consulting prior owners and neighboring property owners
- Field Work & Data Collection
- Establishing a control network (traverse) to locate existing property markers
- Searching for evidence of boundaries such as monuments, fences, and recorded measurements
- Analysis & Reporting
- Comparing field data with historical records
- Reconciling discrepancies and setting new monuments if needed
- Drafting a final boundary plan with a detailed report and legal descriptions
Survey Markers & Final Deliverables
Upon completion, property boundaries are marked using iron pins, pipes, wooden posts, marked trees, or concrete monuments, based on agreements made with the property owner. The final survey includes a detailed plan, written description, and a professional report outlining key decisions.
Factors Affecting the Cost
The cost of a boundary survey depends on:
- Size & location of the property
- Terrain & vegetation
- Season & accessibility
- Condition of existing property markers
Since certain factors, like missing or conflicting monuments, can only be determined during the survey, costs may vary based on findings.
