Boundary surveys establish the location of property lines and identify the legal limits of land ownership. Whether supporting a real estate transaction, land development project, construction planning effort, title insurance requirement, or boundary question, a boundary survey provides the foundation for informed decisions involving real property.

​

A boundary survey is more than measurements—it is a professional determination of property boundaries based on evidence, records, and field conditions.

​

Boundary surveys are often requested when property lines need to be located, verified, documented, or evaluated as part of a larger property decision. They combine historical research, field evidence, measurement, and professional judgment to determine the location of property boundaries based on available information and established surveying principles.

​

BOUNDARY RESEARCH & ANALYSIS

Every boundary survey begins with understanding the history of the property and surrounding tracts.

​

Depending on the project, this may involve:

• Deed and record research

• Review of adjoining property information

• Evaluation of plats, easements, and rights-of-way

• Analysis of historical survey records

• Assessment of boundary evidence and occupation lines

​

The goal is to develop an informed understanding of the property's boundary history before field work begins.

​​

FIELD SURVEY & EVIDENCE RECOVERY

Field work focuses on locating and documenting evidence relevant to the boundary determination.

​

These projects may involve:

• Recovery of existing monuments and markers

• Measurement of boundary lines and improvements

• Location of fences, occupation lines, and visible evidence

• Collection of survey measurements using GNSS and conventional survey methods

• Evaluation of physical evidence found on the property

​

Field observations are combined with record information and professional analysis to support the boundary determination.

​

BOUNDARY SURVEY APPLICATIONS

Boundary surveys support a wide range of property-related needs.

​

These projects commonly include:

• Property boundary surveys

• Title surveys

• TSPS Category 1A Surveys

• ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys

• Land development and permitting support

• Construction planning

• Property transactions and due diligence

• Boundary questions and potential disputes

​

While project requirements may vary, each relies upon the same underlying boundary determination process.

​

SURVEY EXHIBITS & DELIVERABLES

Survey deliverables are prepared based on the project requirements and intended use.

​

Depending on the project, deliverables may include:

• Boundary survey plats or maps

• Survey exhibits

• Legal descriptions

• Easement exhibits

• Title survey deliverables

• ALTA/NSPS survey deliverables

• Supporting documentation as required

​

Deliverables are prepared to provide clear, reliable information for property owners, title companies, attorneys, engineers, developers, and other project stakeholders.
