Boundary Surveys

Land Survey Plat

A Land Survey Plat (LSP), is a type of survey that defines the exact boundaries of a specific parcel of land.

Common uses for a Land Survey Plat include:

Building a Fence or Structure

An LSP is crucial to ensure you’re building within your property line and not encroaching onto your neighbor’s land.

Subdividing Land

If you plan to split your property into multiple lots, a Land Survey Plat is required by most localities.

Resolving Property Disputes

An LSP can be helpful in settling disagreements about property boundaries with neighbors.

IMPROVEMENT SURVEY PLAT

An Improvement Survey Plat (ISP) combines the elements of a Land Survey Plat and an Improvement Location Certificate. It provides a detailed picture of a property, encompassing both the property boundaries and the location of all improvements on the land.

Reasons to choose an Improvement Survey Plat over a simpler ILC or LSP include:

More Comprehensive Picture

An ISP provides details on both the property boundaries and the location of improvements.

Reduced Risk

By identifying potential encroachments, ISPs can help prevent future headaches and delays during construction projects or real estate transactions.

An Improvement Survey Plat can be valuable in a variety of situations:

Real Estate Transactions

Buyers and sellers can benefit from the peace of mind that comes with knowing there are no encroachment issues that could affect the property’s value or marketability.

Construction Projects

Before breaking ground on any new construction project, an ISP is essential to ensure adherence to property lines and to avoid conflicts with existing improvements.

Property Line Disputes

If you have a disagreement with a neighbor regarding property boundaries, an ISP can provide the necessary evidence to resolve the issue.

ALTA Survey

An ALTA Survey, formally called an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey, is a detailed type of land survey tailored for commercial real estate. It combines elements of boundary surveys, improvement location surveys, and title research, while adhering to a strict set of standards created by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors. The requirements of the survey can be negotiated and adjusted to meet the needs of your project.

Subdivision Plat

Subdivision plats are detailed maps that divide a large parcel of land into smaller lots, depicting boundaries, street rights of way, easements, and other essential features. These parcels can be individual lots for homes, commercial properties, or open spaces like parks or green areas. Subdivision plats are a helpful planning tool, aiding in the land development. They are required to ensure compliance with local zoning and land-use regulations and provide an official record for future development or sales.

Condominium Map

A condominium map is a legal document depicting all or a portion of a common interest community in three dimensions. It is serves as a blueprint of the condominium complex, detailing the layout, location, and dimensions of each unit and common area. The condominium map plays a crucial role in defining the ownership rights of each unit owner, while clarifying boundaries between individual units and shared spaces.

Legal Descriptions

Legal descriptions are the precise and official way to identify a parcel of land for legal purposes. They are crucial in real estate transactions because they ensure everyone involved understands exactly which piece of property is being conveyed.
