How can I tell if a plot of land has been surveyed?Sometimes, a land surveyor will place a monument at your property corners bearing the Professional Land Surveyor's license number. More frequently, a metal pipe is driven into the ground to designate a property corner. | | By ProMatcher Staff | | Updated: 07/13/2016 | | |
| | J&T 6 | Answer: You may see wooden stakes driven beside the corner pins. They may have fresh flagging or paint on them. Other than that it would be hard to tell. | | Pro17 Engineering, LLC | Answer: There will be legal documentation of the survey. Usually it is of record in the county court house. Some times the land owner has not recorded the survey and you may need to find the surveyor that preformed the work. | | Tim Phipps, Surveyor | | | ProMatcher | Answer: Recorded boundary surveys are public documents and with a little research, a visit to your county recorders office or in some cases the county assessor's website anyone can view the past surveys and conveyances of any given property. When we are contacted by the public for a survey we perform this work for our clients as a part of our due diligence and good survey practices. | | Apex Land Surveys | Answer: Every County requires a recordation of plats and surveys.
