A land surveyor is a specialist who measures land and its natural features and any constructed features such as buildings or roads for drawing to scale as plans or maps.
A Boundary Survey is typically done for a lending institution to ensure that the property has no encroachment issues. Property corners are not set or marked in the field during a boundary survey unless requested. The end result is a drawing showing the boundary of the parcel as it is recorded in a deed and any improvements such as houses, driveways, decks, sheds, etc. that may be on the property. Typical circumstances: Buying/selling, building a home. Normally the bank will request that you have this type of survey done or just order it themselves.
A boundary survey is the most basic type of survey. This type of survey is also known as a mortgage or title survey as it was traditionally what would be provided to a title company for a home loan closing to ensure that the property has no encroachment issues. This type of land survey establishes the perimeter of a property that matches up with the property's legal description. The surveyor will visit the property to collect the necessary data. From this data, a scale drawing (plat) is drawn which illustrates property lines, bearings and distances along these lines, and total acreage.
