Why Survey?

 

LEGALITY:

There are legal reasons for having a Licensed and Insured Professional establish your boundaries. All States have laws regulating the establishment of the legal boundaries of property and require such to be done by a Licensed Land Surveyor.

The most basic reason for having your boundaries done by a professional is piece of mind. And there is always the benefit of avoiding a dispute with the neighbor. Usually, when we think of our property we think that the boundary is also our exclusive domain. The reality is that the boundary is not exclusive, it also belongs to your neighbor. Making an error in the location of the boundary, even a small one, can cause disagreements between neighbors, or worse, law suits that cost tens of thousands of dollars to resolve.

As part of that investment it is important to have security in a well established and accurate boundary between you and your neighbors. A competent survey adds value far in excess of of the initial expense of the survey. How can it do this . . .
