What Can a Land Surveyor Tell You About Your Property

First and foremost, a land surveyor can tell you what the boundaries are on your property. You need to know exactly what plot of land you own in the Las Cruces area so you do not accidentally put any of your improvements onto property that is owned by someone else. Knowing boundaries is essential when land is sold. It’ also useful info if there is a dispute over who a given portion of a property belongs to.  A land surveyor can also tell you much more than just where the boundaries are through.

A surveyor can tell you where easements and encumbrances are. You will also find out where the city has placed utility lines, what improvements previous owners made to the property. With certain types of surveys you can also find out what a property’s elevation is, and what the topographical features of a property are. All of this is essential because you don’t want to end up digging into utility lines, encroaching on easements, or unexpectedly purchasing a house or locating a building in a flood plane. 

A survey for Land Planning

You will also find out whether it’s a residential, commercial, or municipal client.  The first thing to assert would be the quality and sustainability of the land. To do this, there are a series of surveys that can be done.
