Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a boundary survey and a topographic survey?
Boundary survey shows property lines, improvements, and legal dimensions (what you need for real estate). Topographic survey adds terrain features, elevation changes, and natural features. Choose boundary survey for property transactions, topographic for construction/development.
What does an encroachment mean for property ownership?
Encroachment is when a neighbor's improvement (fence, building, driveway) extends onto your property. Solutions: neighbor relocates it, you grant easement, pay compensation, or pursue legal action. Identify with survey before buying.
How far back should I research title history?
For standard property transactions, 30-50 years is typical. For boundary disputes or development, go back further. Title insurance companies require chain of title search back to original grant or specified period.
What easements might affect my property?
Common easements: utilities (electric, gas, water, sewer), rights-of-way (driveways, neighbors), drainage (storm water), conservation (permanent restrictions). Check deed and plat for all easements affecting your property.
How do I resolve a boundary dispute with my neighbor?
First, get professional survey showing exact boundary. Review historical surveys and deeds. If still disputed, attempt negotiation with documentation. If unresolved, consider: easement/agreement, quiet title lawsuit, or boundary line adjustment (if permitted).
