Will I need permits to build a home?

• <div><p>Yes, new home construction will always require <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-building-permit.htm">building permits</a>, no matter where you live. In most cases, you’ll need a general construction permit, along with plumbing and electrical permits for the utility lines in your home. Depending on where you live, you’ll likely find that you also need permits for things like connection to a sewage system or installing exterior components, like decks, driveways, patios, and curb cutouts. Leave navigating the permits required for new home construction to a professional to ensure your home is built legally and safely.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a land survey and a plat?

• <div><p>A land survey includes the layout of a single property, including precise measurements and to-scale drawings of boundary lines, land improvements, and sometimes other features, like topography and drainage information. A plat map includes the layouts and boundary lines of several adjacent plots and basic structure measurements. Surveys are normally more valuable for homeowners and buyers, and plat maps are for governmental use.</p></div>

Q: How long does a land survey take?

• <div><p>A land survey can take anywhere from a few hours to a month or more, depending on the size of the property, the type of survey, the property&rsquo;s accessibility and topography, and the availability of historical property records. A simple boundary survey to determine a fence line can be completed in a day while surveying 50 acres of undeveloped woodlands may take weeks or longer.</p></div>

Q: What if I can’t find any records of when my house was built?

• <div><p>If you can&rsquo;t find any records online, you&rsquo;ll need to contact your county clerk&rsquo;s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time. </p></div>

Q: What does a land surveyor look for?

• <div><p>Depending on the type of land survey, the report will mark the boundaries of your property, the topographical changes of the landscape, as well as major natural and added structures to the plot. A more detailed survey, like an as-built survey, will note the measurements of the structures and landscape following major construction. A topographic survey will also help your contractor determine the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/site-development-costs.htm">cost of land development projects</a>.</p></div>

Great. Surveyor called when he finished to explain the stakes. When I got home from work the stakes were all placed and understandable.

John promptly returned my call. He was the only surveyor I called, so I didn't compare prices, but it sounded about right to me. He answered all of my questions. Work was completed in a timely fashion.

It is a professional land surveyor and the price was on the expensive side for this kind of work, but I think it is because they usually do commercial work. They arrived when they said they would with a suprisingly large crew and they gave me an estimate before hand in which they were able to...

It took 4 months for surveyor to send a field crew. They were always too busy, have a deadline to meet, etc. and when they finally did survey the boundary, they were 14 feet off when they got to the back corner. I lost the opportunity to install the fence before winter. The street end of the...
