Boundary Survey FAQs
What is a boundary survey?
A boundary survey identifies the exact legal limits of a property by locating corners, measuring lines, and documenting improvements or potential encroachments. It provides an official map showing where your land begins and ends.
When do I need a boundary or property line survey?
You need a boundary survey when buying property, planning construction, resolving disputes, or verifying your lot lines for legal or permitting purposes.
How accurate are boundary surveys?
Licensed surveyors use professional-grade equipment and research recorded documents to ensure highly accurate results. Our measurements follow Virginia state standards and industry best practices for precision.
What does a boundary survey include?
A typical boundary survey includes marked property corners, boundary line measurements, locations of visible improvements, and a certified plat (drawing) showing the property layout, dimensions, and notes about encroachments.
How long does a boundary survey take?
Most residential boundary surveys are completed within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on property size, terrain, and available recorded documents. Larger or complex sites may require additional time.
Do I need a survey before making changes to my property?
In many cases, yes. A boundary survey provides accurate property lines, identifies potential encroachments, and helps ensure your project complies with local regulations. Whether you’re planning construction, landscaping, or site improvements, having precise survey data helps prevent disputes and supports smooth permitting.
Will the surveyor mark the property corners?
Yes. We locate and mark property corners with stakes or flags so you can easily identify your boundary points for future reference.
