Boundary Survey

Who Needs a Boundary Survey, and When?

You need a boundary survey whenever the location of a property line matters: buying with a lender or title company that asks for a current survey, building a fence, pool or addition near the line, applying for a permit that shows setbacks, settling a question with a neighbor, or splitting or selling part of a parcel.

Boundary surveys are useful any time the location of a property line matters. Common reasons include:

• Buying a home or land, when a lender or title company asks for a current survey before closing
• Installing a fence, wall, pool, addition or driveway near the edge of the lot
• Applying for a building permit that requires a survey with setbacks shown
• Resolving a question or disagreement with a neighbor about where the line is
• Splitting, combining or selling part of a parcel
• Checking for encroachments, such as a neighbor's shed or fence crossing the line

Homeowners, buyers, builders, real-estate agents, attorneys and title companies all rely on boundary surveys to avoid surprises. Finding a problem before closing or construction is far easier than fixing it afterward.

What You Get

Every boundary survey from Nexgen Logix is prepared for the specific purpose you need it for. In general terms, you can expect:

• A signed and sealed survey drawing, delivered digitally, with printed copies available on request
• Property lines, bearings and distances based on the legal description
• Corner monuments found or set in the field
• Visible improvements such as buildings, fences, walls, driveways and pools
• Visible encroachments, easements of record provided to us, and the flood zone where applicable
• Certifications to the parties you name, such as your lender, title company or attorney

If you already have an older survey and nothing on the property has changed, an update survey may be all you need. If you are buying with a mortgage, see our mortgage surveys. For flood insurance or permits in a flood zone, you may also need an elevation certificate. Planning to build? A topographic survey adds ground elevations for design.
