What is a Boundary Survey?
A boundary survey, also known as a mortgage or title survey, is a standard plot outline. It establishes the legal boundaries of a property and ensures it matches its legal description. A completed boundary survey is a legal document with a report that has several components, all of which we will make sure are accurately recorded.

Property Report Components
The first component of your boundary survey report is the survey outline which includes plot dimensions as well as permanent property improvements such as:
- Swimming pools
- Outdoor sheds
- Garages
- Guesthouses
- Fences
Property boundary surveyors use this information to generate a detailed sketch that defines the property’s boundaries. To complete the design, the surveyor must research the deed and survey the land. The final product includes a:
- Detailed plot sketch
- Written property description
- Notes about additional structures

The Process Followed by Our Property Line Surveyors

- Municipal offices
- State agencies
- Historical societies
- Neighboring property owners
- County commissioner offices
- Other land surveyors
The surveyor uses this data to establish land boundaries and lot dimensions. Next, the surveyor travels to the site to examine the land, locate permanent structures, establish property corners, and map property lines. Our technicians use these details to prepare a comprehensive sketch.
Our surveyors analyze the property data to ensure all measurements are correct. Once complete, our quality control team reviews the draft and prepares the final plan. The boundary survey report is sent to customers via email for immediate access.

When Do You Need to Hire a Boundary Surveyor?
Homeowners, building companies, and property managers may commission a boundary survey before building, buying, expanding, or dividing property. A boundary survey saves people time and money by avoiding encroachment disputes and potential lawsuits.
There are many reasons you should hire boundary surveyors. In many states, landowners legally must hire a land surveyor before purchasing a house or constructing work on a property. In addition to performing a boundary survey, your land surveying team can also perform a construction layout to ensure a smooth renovation.
A mortgage lender or title company uses boundary surveys to ensure a property does not encroach on a neighboring plot of land. Many mortgage lenders require a boundary survey before signing off on loans.
Inaccurate Surveys Cause Land Boundary Problems
Whether you own private or commercial property, it’s important to let an experienced and well-trained team handle your boundary report if you want to make sure it’s accurate.
A poorly conducted land survey leads to encroachment property line disputes between neighbors which can result in a civil lawsuit or title defect. Inaccurate reporting also causes builders to violate local codes.

We utilize innovative surveying equipment for efficient processes and our quality control team works diligently to ensure total accuracy. When we produce final plans, our customers know they are receiving a reliable land survey.
How Are Boundary Surveys Done?
The residential boundary survey process starts by performing research in the county where the deed is registered. A property surveyor reviews historical land records for the specific plot as well as the surrounding plots. The surveyor may need to consult with municipal officers to ensure accurate boundary line reporting.
A land surveyor consults with local municipalities to gather accurate information about the deed. Once complete, a survey tech will conduct field research. Boundary surveyors explore the plot, mark property corners, and gather additional measurements.
After the research is complete, the surveying team can analyze the collected data and generate a detailed property design. It includes acreage, encroachments, and easements. The finalized survey is drafted, sealed, and stamped.
How Are Boundary Survey Costs Calculated?
How much does a boundary survey cost? The total property line survey cost will depend on the specific details of your property. That’s why boundary survey costs vary on a case-by-case basis. Determining the survey’s cost typically depends on the property’s:
- Location
- Size
- Terrain
- Age
A land surveying company may also consider the time of year when establishing a price. If the property’s state, county, or town includes more regulations, surveyors may charge a higher fee to perform additional research.
