What Is A Survey, And Do I Need One?
Your purchase of a home or real estate may be the
largest single investment of your life. Having the assurances and protection
of a Land Survey, by a Licensed Professional, will mean tremendous peace
of mind, and can be performed at a fraction of the cost of correcting any
mistakes later.
You
may believe that a casual inspection of your property will be sufficient
to determine it's boundaries and assure that all buildings, fences, wells,
garages and other improvements on both your and your neighbor's land are
properly located. If you buy or improve property without an accurate and
recent Land Survey, you may later discover that your house or addition,
or the fence you built is partially located on your neighbor's property.
Or you could discover that your driveway crosses someone else's property
without a proper easement. These problems can be avoided or discovered
by first having a Land Survey performed.
A Land
Survey is the measurement, by a Licensed Surveyor, of real property that
shows all boundaries and existing features of a tract of land within the
guidelines of State Law and Professional Organizations. A Land Survey should
show and include a location and description of all property corners and
boundaries, all physical improvements, means of access from a public right-of-way,
location and description of any fences along or near your boundaries and
any other physical and visible matters which could affect your use and
enjoyment of your property.
Don't
rely in haste on just any drawing someone may have given you as a survey.
Some drawings, while looking very professional, lack important information
and background work that a proper Land Survey would include. Looks can
be deceiving and it is up to you to make sure you have a proper Land Survey.
If
you have any questions about your survey as to it's completeness, accuracy,
or background, ask your Land Surveyor! He should not mind explaining and
answering all of your questions.
The
State of Georgia, The Surveying and Mapping Society of Georgia and The
American Congress of Surveying and Mapping have all established minimum
standards which all surveys in the State of Georgia should follow. A copy
of these standards can be obtained from these organizations.
