A boundary survey is a process used to determine the exact location of property lines. This type of survey is typically conducted by a licensed surveyor who uses specialized equipment to measure distances and angles. The results help clarify property boundaries, which can prevent disputes between neighbors and ensure compliance with local zoning laws. Boundary surveys are essential for various purposes, including real estate transactions, land development, and construction projects. They provide important information for property owners, developers, and contractors to understand the limits of their land and any easements or encroachments that may exist.
