PROPERTY LINE STAKING

For situations in which you need to visualize the actual boundary line of your property, disputes with neighbors or when you are building a structure near the edge of your property and can prevent potentially expensive encroachment issues.

WHEN IS PROPERTY LINE STAKING NEEDED?

  • Construction of a structure or perform landscaping near the edge of your property
  • Installing a fence in a portion of your property (local governing authorities may also have stipulations on how close to your property line the fence may sit)
  • Suspect your neighbor is encroaching on your land with landscaping or a structure
  • Determine ownership of a pre-existing object on/near the property line (e.g., a tree)
  • Questions as to the accuracy of property’s legal description during real estate sales
  • If it is otherwise difficult to tell where your property boundaries lie 

WHAT TO EXPECT WITH PROPERTY LINE STAKING

    • Survey crew will arrive at the property to collect data to identify property boundaries
    • Corners will be flagged
    • Re-set any missing pins  
    • Property lines will be marked with wooden stakes and flags ~50 feet apart                                             
  • No drawings or plats are provided as part of this service

 

NOTE: while this survey is somewhat less intrusive than a full boundary survey, the work involved in identifying boundaries is similar to that of more detailed surveys, so the difference in cost is modest at best. Many of our clients choose to order the full boundary survey instead. Talk to one of professionals to discuss your options to help you determine which survey is best for your needs.
