Verification Survey

It is a type of land survey conducted to confirm the accuracy of existing survey data, boundary lines, or physical features on a property. It involves re-measuring and comparing the actual conditions on the ground with previously recorded survey information.

This survey does not establish new boundaries, but rather verifies the correctness of prior surveys or the current physical state of the land.

Importance of a Verification Survey:

1. Quality Control:

   • Ensures previous surveys were conducted accurately and in accordance with applicable standards and legal descriptions.

2. Legal and Regulatory Compliance:

   • Helps confirm that property boundaries and structures comply with zoning laws, setback requirements, and municipal codes.

3. Support for Dispute Resolution:

   • Provides reliable evidence in cases of property boundary disputes or title disagreements.

4. Due Diligence in Transactions:

   • Useful during property sales or development projects to validate the integrity of prior survey data before proceeding.

5. Risk Mitigation:

   • Reduces the potential for legal or financial liabilities due to errors in previous surveys or undocumented changes to the land.
