When do I need a land survey?
Category:
Housing and Private Property
Some scenarios that may warrant a land survey are:
-When purchasing or selling land
-Before the land is subdivided by deed or subdivision
-When a lending institution requires a mortgage loan inspection
-Before building a house, fence, septic system or other improvements
-When required by the City prior to the issuance of a building or other permit
-For drainage planning, topographical and subsurface utility studies
-When purchasing Title Insurance
-When the property line location is in question and/or an encroachment is suspected
