Property / Boundary Surveys

Property/boundary and Limited Property/Boundary Surveys require sufficient investigation, study, field measurements and evaluation of factors affecting boundaries, real property interests and other relevant matters with respect to the subject real estate to enable the surveyor to render a professional opinion as to the boundary locations and any conflicts therewith.  Below are types of surveys that fall within this category.

Property Survey

A type of survey which depicts or notes the position of boundaries with respect to:

a) all boundary monumentation found or set;
b) apparent improvements and features such as dwellings, sheds, barns, driveways, roadways, surface utilities visible bodies of water and swimming pools;
c) record easements and visible evidence of the use thereof;
d) record and apparent means of ingress and egress;
e) lines of occupation such as fences, walls, hedges and yards;
f) deed restrictions pertaining to the location of buildings or other apparent improvements;
g) unresolved conflicts with record deed descriptions and maps;
h) all apparent boundary encroachments; and
i) monumentation required to be set at all corners created by a defelction of not less than 70 degrees between two consecutive courses and at intervals not to exceed 600 feet along boundaries between said corners, unless waived through written agreement between the surveyor and client.

All property markers found/set along the parcel will be depicted with their relative position to boundary corners. This survey is most commonly used in boundary disputes or where the need for property detail is desired. It is intended to depict those real property matters of easements, rights, conflicts and improvements throughout the property.

Perimeter Survey

A type of survey which depicts a strip along the boundaries, the minimum width of which shall be 15 feet oriented 10 feet within and 5 feet beyond the parcel limits. The purpose of this type of survey is to document the boundary locations by depicting and noting their position with respect to:

a) boundary monumentation found or set;
b) apparent improvements and features such as dwellings, sheds, barns, driveways, roadways, surface utilities, visible bodies of water and swimming pools;
c) record easements and visible evidence of the use thereof;
d) record and apparent means of ingress and egress;
e) lines of occupation such as fences, walls, hedges and yards;
f) unresolved conflicts with record deed descriptions and maps;
g) deed restrictions pertaining to the location of buildings or other apparent improvements;
h) apparent boundary encroachments;
i) monumentation required to be set at all corners created by a defelction of not less than 70 degrees between two consecutive courses and at intervals not to exceed 600 feet along boundaries between said corners, unless waived through written agreement between the surveyor and client.

All property markers found/set along the parcel will be depicted with their relative position to boundary corners. This type of survey is most commonly used to depict larger parcels where for matters of client cost or project interest, interior conditions are not of concern. Boundaries and conflicts in relation to physical improvements within a strip along said boundaries is the primary focus.
