Lot-line Survey?

19 years ago

Is it possible to get a survey done on just one side of a residential property? I want to hold down costs as much as possible. In a mess regarding a property line/fence dispute with a nasty neighbor......whole 'nother story.

    Lot line survey.....one side for get it.

    They will only want to do the whole lot..usually.

    You need to call around for surveys in your area. Get lots of over the phone quotes. If there are bussy you will get a high price.
    Call the city building department and ask for there help.
    Some times they can recomend someone cheep.

    You may have overhead airals from pictures taken by planes.
    This would be on your County web site, property, lot info.
    It will actually show your house and the lot line.

    Good Luck, Scott

    "It will actually show your house and the lot line."

    Approximately.
    If you had a survey done at purchase, find the plat and see if you can locate the monuments.

    IN NC, a surveyor will do as much or as little as the customer wishes. Typically, the surveyor will reference enough other points to insure himself that the points the customer wants established are correct. The local governments here keep plats, photos, other records, not so much to help the citizens but for tax and zoning purposes.

    I'm not sure where you are, but in CT you can get a single lot line surveyed, but you might need all your other bounds are marked. Call around and ask a couple of reputable surveyors. You can usually go to the municipal offices for your town and get a copy of the deed for your property as well as the problem neighbor's and a map of each. (Ask the surveyor if you get all the deeds and maps they need if they will lower what they charge you because you've done some of the leg work they charge by the hour for sometimes. Some might be willing some not. Worth a shot anyway, right?) Then you can see for yourself where the pins are, if they are still in place. I think if the surveyor has some of the pins in place he won't have to do as much work. Anyway, good luck with it.

    around here no surveyor worth getting would do a single line only. they WILL survey the entire property. if you want markers down only one side they are fine with that, but they have to do the whol thing to make sure it is accurate.

    if you had the placed surveyed when you bought it, call teh company that did it ask them to come locate the pins. that will be a lot cheaper than full blown survey.
