Common Reasons to get a Survey

Understanding the exact boundaries of a property is crucial for various reasons. Homeowners and businesses often require the services of a professional land surveyor in Oregon and Washington for the following reasons:

Fence Installation

Before constructing a fence or wall on a property, a boundary survey is typically conducted to guarantee that the structure is built within the property lines. Learn more about boundary surveys for your fence installation.

Additions or Renovations

Prior to undertaking significant additions or renovations, property owners may request a boundary survey to determine property boundaries and a topographic survey to assess existing features and contours. These surveys facilitate the design and planning process. Learn more about boundary surveys and topographical surveys for your addition and renovation projects.

Title Insurance Requirements

For residential and commercial property purchases, an ALTA/NSPS survey (formerly known as ALTA/ACSM) is necessary to issue title insurance. This survey ensures that the property boundaries and improvements align with legal requirements. Learn more about ALTA/NSPS surveys for your title insurance.
