Why should I have my land surveyed?

<div>Land surveying can help give clear guidance on your property boundaries for numerous situations. And in some cases, having your land surveyed is a requirement. Some common reasons to have your land surveyed include:<ul><li>Planning for construction projects, like building a fence</li><li>Locating utilities, such as plumbing fixtures</li><li>Settling property line disputes </li><li>Creating subdivisions </li><li>Meeting mortgage requirements</li><li>Selling your property</li></ul></div>

How much does land surveying cost?

<div><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-land-survey-cost.htm">Land surveying costs</a> about $530 for the average homeowner. However, your total cost could range anywhere from $200 to $1,000 or more. Factors like the size of your property play a significant role in what you pay, but other things like the survey type and the time of year can also impact the final cost. For example, if you’re looking for a simple boundary survey, you can expect to pay between $100 and $600. However, if you want a more in-depth survey that depicts the elevations of your hills and trees, you can expect to pay between $500 and $1,200 for a topographic survey. </div>

What are the different types of land surveys?

<div>A few different types of land surveys can help determine certain features and boundaries of your property. These include:<ul><li>Boundary surveys describe the actual borders of a property. These are generally required when trying to get construction permits issued. </li><li>Location surveys provide much of the same information as a boundary survey but also include in-depth information about any improvements made to your property. </li><li>Mortgage location surveys are usually required by lenders and title companies before financing or offering an insurance policy. </li><li>Site-planning surveys are done before applying for building permits and can be issued before any major home improvements. </li><li>Topographic surveys provide a formal map of land elevations. It can also describe the location and size of natural features and any land improvements. </li></ul></div>

What information is included in a land survey report?

<div><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/surveying-your-property-worth-cost.htm">Land survey reports</a> provide a lot of helpful information about your property and land. The exact information provided depends on the type of survey you have done, but common information that they can provide includes:<ul><li>Location of utility fixtures</li><li>Clear boundaries and dimensions of your property</li><li>General topography</li><li>Land elevation information</li><li>Confirmation of easements or encroachments</li></ul></div>

How long is a land survey good for?

<div>Land surveys don’t technically expire. They do serve as a point of reference and a snapshot of your property, though, so as soon as you make changes to your property (and even if your neighbor makes certain changes to theirs), your existing land survey becomes inaccurate, and a new one must be done. Even if you don’t make any changes to your property, many states only guarantee the accuracy of a land survey for five to ten years.</div>

"The experience with Ariel Land surveying was terrible. They did not come to aurvey my property last Sunday as stated. I spent all last week asking which day and time will thwy arrive on the property so I can give access. The response I kept getting until last Friday at 5:00 pm is the technician is still working on the schedule. I'm not sure when he's coming. He may come this weekend, or he may not. I get a call Minday morning stating the technician put in the system that he surveyed the property. I said this is not rue because we have cameras, and i had been there all day on Saturday. The technician and the person who picked up the phone became very rude and disrespectful. The technician yelled at me. He said he did me a favor and came on a Sunday and I am being ungrateful. I rechecked the camera for Saturday and Sunday, I did not see any technician. Monday morning when I kept calling to see the technician, I was told that he was not in yet. About an hour later after he ywlled at me, the technician sent me random pictures of my pool, the front of my house, and the alley wY to the back yard. When bringing my son to daycare, remember seeing a man wearing a neon vest with a construction hat on, but he was infront of the neighbor's property, not mine. Also he was there foe just five minutes. I lf that was the technician, I do not believe that was proper and surveying . The service was terrible, they were very unprofessional. I would never recommend Aerial land surveying to anyone."

"We hired scalice to do a survey of our new home. They sent workers that were new, unsupervised, and did not speak English. The workers broke huge branches off of about 9 ever green trees that were 30+ years old. The company even agreed that the new workers did not properly complete the survey and only offered a small discount on return - no one called, no one showed any compassion. We now have lost much of the privacy these trees provided. I would never use this company again."
