WHEN DO YOU NEED A SURVEY?
A survey should be performed when any of the following situations arise:
The title to land is to be transferred and the land is not clearly defined by plat, description, or location on the surface of the earth.
Land is to be divided by land contract, will, deed, court order, or desire of the owner.
Land is to be improved by the construction of buildings, roads, fences, lakes, etc.
There is a boundary dispute between you and your neighbor or you believe someone is encroaching upon your land.
There is reason to believe the description, plat or the location of any property line or corner is incorrect.
