Question:
When do I need a
survey?
 A survey is smart
prior to the purchase of any property. A survey will define the
properties' boundaries for the buyer and/or the seller.
A survey can be used for the resolution of a dispute regarding property
boundaries. For any survey we will clearly stake and flag property
corners. A copy of the survey is regarded as a legal document and may
be used in court. Surveys will typically note any encroachments of
adjacent properties' buildings and/or fences, etc.
Surveys are required in most cities for building improvements
and additions (such as decks or driveways) to commercial, governmental,
and residential properties.
