Since you may require the services of a Professional Land Surveyor only once during your lifetime, you may not be aware of the logical steps to be followed when selecting a Land Surveyor. To help in making such a selection, Kent W. Cox & Associates, Inc. has prepared answers to a few commonly asked questions. In general, a survey should be made before purchasing real property, when dividing any parcel of land for sale or when adjusting existing parcel boundaries (in conformance with state laws and local ordinances), and prior to the construction of any improvements on property in which you have an interest. Boundary surveys are also frequently requested to establish a line between two properties when a disputes arise. If you would like a quote on a survey, click here. | |||||||

A.L.T.A. Survey or Extended Title Insurance Coverage Survey: A survey made for the purpose of supplying a title company and lender with survey and location data necessary for issuing American Land Title Association or Extended Coverage Title Insurance. This is the highest level of a boundary survey. Boundary Survey: A survey for the express purpose of locating the corners and boundary lines of a given parcel of land. This involves record and field research, measurements, and computations to establish boundary lines in conformance with State Law. Easement lines may also be located with this type of survey. Topographic Survey: A survey locating topographic features--natural and man made--such as buildings, improvements, fences, elevations, trees, streams, contours of the land, etc. This type of survey may be required by a governmental agency, or may be used by engineers and/or architects for design of improvements or developments on a site. Subdivision or Partition Survey: The subdivision or partitioning of a tract of land into smaller parcels, showing monumentation and survey data on a map, in conformance with local ordinances and State Law. Property Line Adjustment Survey: This is a survey to monument an adjustment of a property line between two adjoining properties. Flood Elevation Survey: A survey which determines if your property is in a 100 year flood plain. This survey includes filling out the federal form which certifies the property elevation and building finish floor elevations. Other surveys available are high level control surveys, route surveys and construction staking. Typically, subdivision, partition and property line adjustment surveys require approval of the local planning authority. If you would like a quote on a survey, click here. | ||||||||
