There are different reasons why somebody would need boundary surveying in their property. Often, this type of surveying is done if the owner of the property wants to legally place an item on the property such as a new structure or a fence.<\/p>

A Licensed Land Surveyor<\/h3>

When hiring a land surveyor, you have to make sure that he is duly licensed by your state. A \u201clicensed\u201d land surveyor means he was able to complete his studies, passed all exams and is certified to perform specific types of land surveys.<\/p>

Hiring a licensed land surveyor is especially important if there is a dispute over a certain area of a property as the court would be asking for the current boundary survey result as well as testimony from a licensed land surveyor. With this being said, you also have to make sure that the surveyor you\u2019re going to hire can also stand as an expert witness in court.<\/p>

Looking for a Licensed Land Surveyor<\/h3>

\"\"If your property has been surveyed before, it would be easier for you to contact that land surveyor again. This is the best option for several reasons; he already has all information about your property, making it easier for him to perform a new type of survey.<\/p>

You can typically find your land surveyor\u2019s information on the survey result given to you (if you\u2019ve bought the property from somebody, for instance) or the result given to you by the surveyor himself.<\/span><\/p>

If you don\u2019t have the survey drawing, you can also check the markers put in place by the surveyor during the last survey done on your property. These markers, which looks like iron pegs or pipes, should have the surveyor\u2019s license number\/ name on it. You can use this information to find the surveyor online.<\/p>

If you can\u2019t find the surveyor who worked on your property before, or if the property has never been surveyed, you should easily find a land surveyor in your area (for a land surveyor in the Minneapolis area, click here<\/a>).<\/p>

Important Points to Remember when Hiring an ALTA Surveyor<\/h3>
  • As mentioned, make sure that he or she is a licensed land surveyor.<\/li><\/ul>
    • He or she should have experience in performing alta boundary surveys. If you\u2019re going to pay somebody, you\u2019d rather have someone who has done it before, right?<\/li>
    • Look for someone easy to talk to. Communication is very important when hiring a land surveyor. You see, surveying is more of an art than a science \u2013 this is why land surveying results vary. It\u2019s important that your surveyor understand why you\u2019re having the survey, what you\u2019re going to use the results for and how soon you\u2019ll be needing the results.<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
