What is Property survey?
A property survey is a precise map of a property's boundaries, structures, and any encroachments or easements.
Definition
A surveyor measures and documents exactly where your property lines are, where buildings sit, and any encroachments or rights affecting the land. Lenders or lawyers may require a current survey.
Having an up-to-date survey clarifies your boundaries — useful for fences, additions, or resolving disputes.
