What should I consider when planning land survey costs?

• <div><p>When planning for land survey costs, you should consider the following elements as major contributors to the overall cost:</p><ul><li><p>Size of your property in terms of acres or square feet</p></li><li><p>Complexity of the terrain in terms of hills, elevation changes, rocks, water, and other features</p></li><li><p>Type of survey you need (boundary survey, topographic survey, or a combination of survey types)</p></li><li><p>Distance traveled for the professional surveyor </p></li></ul><p></p></div>

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: How do well drillers know where to drill?

• <div><p>Professional well contractors may use electromagnetic mapping to look for places with a high likelihood of water. Water access can vary significantly, even on the same property, so it can be difficult to know where to drill if you don&rsquo;t have specialized tools to look for water.</p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a land survey and a boundary survey?

• <div><p>A boundary survey measures the boundary lines of the property, only the length of each property line and their locations. A land survey includes a more in-depth measurement of the property, including the heights and depths of the terrain measured by a topographic survey. A boundary survey is typically the most cost-effective method for marking and measuring property lines.</p></div>

Q: Who do I call before I dig in my yard?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re planning to dig on your property, you&rsquo;ll need to check for underground utility lines. Call the national call-before-you-dig 811 number. Once connected to an operator, you can schedule a site visit to mark underground lines. This way, you won&rsquo;t accidentally dig into pipes and can cause major (read: costly) issues. </p></div>
