If you’re a homeowner, property owner, or looking to buy a piece of land, it’s important to know where your property lines are located. Property boundaries define the extent of your land and are crucial for avoiding disputes caused by encroaching on your neighbour’s property. In this article, we’ll look at why property boundaries are important, how to find them and when you may need a surveyor to help you.
Knowing where your property lines are located is important for a variety of reasons, including:
While you can identify your property lines by looking at public records or using online mapping tools, it’s not always accurate. In some cases, you may need to hire a surveyor.
A surveyor is a professional who is trained and licensed to measure, map and describe the features of land and property. To accurately locate your boundary lines, a surveyor may use various tools and techniques. One of the most common tools is a theodolite, which measures angles, to determine the location of the boundary line. To mark the boundary line, survey pegs (or boundary pegs) are driven into the ground at the corners of the property. By combining these tools and techniques, a surveyor can produce a survey plan that accurately shows the location of your property boundaries.
Here are a few scenarios where you may need a surveyor:
If you and your neighbour have a disagreement over property boundaries, a surveyor can help resolve the issue by determining the exact location of the boundary. They’ll do so by using a theodolite, surveying pegs and more.
If you’re buying or selling a property, you’ll need to know the exact location of the property boundaries. A surveyor can help ensure the property you’re buying or selling matches the legal description provided in the deed.
If you’re planning to build or renovate on your property, a surveyor can help you ensure your plans comply with local zoning and building codes. They can also help you avoid encroaching on your neighbour’s property.
