A land surveyor uses this land surveying procedure to create maps of a property’s various features as well as its legal boundaries. The experts can measure the appropriate structures and locate the property’s features. The experts use a variety of tools, including an altimeter. It is used to determine the property’s elevation. Another useful tool for them to use while completing the survey is GPS. Theodolite is one of the most important tools.

The tool is used by the expert to determine the vertical and horizontal angles that exist between two points. A surveyor’s certificate is required, as well as a personal and professional affidavit from the land surveyor.

The Process

The First Stage

The entire procedure, though, isn’t just about pointing out a plot. If there is any kind of evidence, it helps land surveyors in determining the property’s true boundaries. Before beginning the survey, the specialists must first read all important papers such as maps, wills, and deeds. The county records office is where you’ll find it. Only a land surveyor can understand the extensive documentation and interpret the precise property boundaries.

After reading all of the documentation, they must now determine whether there is any physical evidence of the boundaries. The existing fence, marking, is the next piece of evidence. When a property is too old, it is often difficult to locate the original physical evidence because it is not permanent.

The Second Stage

However, after considering all of the information and physical evidence, the land surveyor must now determine the property’s true boundaries. If nothing has changed and the expert has gathered all of the proof, he/she can re-mark the property lines with new markers.

The Third Stage

They now need to prepare the property description after marking the property line. They should include a delineation of the property’s topography, corner monuments, a representation of recent works inside the survey line that should be man-made, the direction and length of each line, and the relationship to adjoining official surveys, among other things. The land surveyor should include details such as the date of the survey, the surveyor’s name, any special information about the property, and the plat’s scale.
