Landowners are typically informed that a boundary survey is required by their local planning board or building officials in their town when they are looking to build or for approval for their property planning or development project.
These projects can range from something as simple as putting up a fence or pool in their yard to complex renovations or building projects.
Additionally, title insurance companies and/or title or real estate attorneys often request the services of a professional land surveyor in order to resolve inaccurate property descriptions and onsite improvements so that mortgage lenders will grant loan approval.
