Boundary Relocation Survey

(also known as a boundary retracement or boundary recovery survey) is a type of land survey that identifies and re-establishes the original property lines of a parcel of land based on historical records, legal descriptions, and physical evidence (such as old markers or monuments).

It does not change the boundary lines but seeks to accurately locate the original ones as they were legally established.

Importance of a Boundary Relocation Survey:

1. Legal Clarity and Protection:

• Prevents or resolves boundary disputes with neighbors.

• Ensures any construction or land use stays within legal property limits.

2. Support for Property Transactions:

• Essential during property sales, purchases, or refinancing to confirm lot dimensions and prevent legal issues later.

3. Preserves Historical Accuracy:

• Ensures that property lines conform to original deeds and survey records, preserving property rights.

4. Facilitates Land Development:

• Provides developers, architects, and engineers with precise information to design structures without encroaching on neighboring lots.

5. Enables Accurate Fencing or Landscaping:

• Guides proper placement of fences, walls, or landscaping features to avoid future legal or financial conflicts.
