Surveying land is a process that begins with understanding the scope of work needed by a land owner. Are you building a fence? Buying a parcel? Having a dispute with a neighbor? Developing your land and dividing it into smaller parcels? Building a house and obtaining a loan? Drilling a well or building a structure near an old fence line?
Needing a boundary description? Once I know what you are trying to accomplish, I can help you with the appropriate level of professional expertise. The next step is research. I obtain a copy of your deed which contains the boundary or "legal" description. The description tells me what I have to do to measure your land.
Some descriptions are simple and easy to understand. Some are vague and full of contradictory information. A poorly written description makes it much harder to understand the intent of the author. In years past, boundary descriptions could be written by anyone, placed on a deed form from an office supply store, and recorded at the Recorder of Deeds office at the courthouse.
