Why Should You Choose A Professional Land Surveyor?
Most generally, your property and home will be the largest investment you will make. A Missouri Professional Land Survey can render a highly technical service in compliance with applicable state and local laws and regulations. Because of the technical skills and complexities involved in surveying your land, Missouri statutes limit the practice of land surveying only to those duly licensed by the Missouri Board for Architects, Professional Engineers and Professional Land Surveyors. Only a surveyor who has completed the education, experience and standardized testing can be licensed to provide any type of land surveying service.
What Are The Different Types Of Surveys Offered?
The Lot Survey is a re-survey of a previously platted subdivision lot. The lot corners are located or reset in accordance to the current “Missouri Standards for Property Boundary Surveys”, the location of all visible improvements are measured and shown, any platted easements affecting the property are located and plotted, and compiled onto a drawing for the use of a lender and/or the property owner.
A Boundary Survey is the retracement of the property deed when described by Metes and Bounds (direction and distance). Boundary surveys may require extensive research of adjoining property deeds, County survey records, road rights-of-way and original government land corner records. As required by statute, all property corners are to be shown or re-established for the property. Again, this survey must be completed in accordance to the “Missouri Standards for Property Boundary Surveys”. If required by the owner or lender, existing improvements may be also located and shown on the final drawing.
A Topographic Survey is a graphic representation of the natural and man-made features of the property. These surveys are most generally used by Architects and Professional Engineers for the design of improvements on that property.
Subdivision Platting and Development for residential or commercial land use. When splitting a property into 2 or more lots or tracts of land, there are various steps involved prior to being able to develop and sell the lots. We can manage your project from the preliminary planning stage to the recording of the final plat. While working closely with a Civil Engineer, these services can include: providing lot layouts, road layout and design, site utility layout and design, and services required through the construction phase.
When Do I Need A Survey And How Much Will It Cost?
You will need a survey:
- if you are purchasing property
- prior to constructing any improvements on your property
- prior to subdividing your property into smaller lots or parcels
- to verify the area of the property for tax or insurance values
- when you think someone has encroached onto your property
The cost of the survey can vary with the type of survey required. The complexity and difficulty can vary with each property, so the cost of the survey can only be fairly determined after an evaluation of the type of service and preliminary research of the property has been completed.
