To re-establish property boundaries

One of the primary reasons to hire a land surveyor is to determine the boundary of your property. This can be critical for a number of reasons, including avoiding disputes with neighbors over where your property ends and theirs begins. A land surveyor can help you accurately re-establish property lines for a variety of uses.

To identify potential issues

A land surveyor can identify some potential issues with a property, such as encroachments from neighboring properties, easements,  flood zones, and riparian claims.  These issues can be costly and time-consuming to address, but a land surveyor can help you identify them early on and work with you to find a solution.

To obtain building permits

If you're planning to build on your property, you'll need to obtain building permits from the local government. A land surveyor can help make sure that your survey has all the information on it needed by other design professionals like engineers and architects.

To obtain flood insurance

In New Jersey, flooding is a significant concern for many properties. A land surveyor can help you determine if your property is located in a flood zone and prepare FEMA elevation certificates when needed.

To help with property sales

If you're buying or selling a property in New Jersey, a land surveyor can help the transaction move smoothly. By determining the property boundaries and identifying any potential issues, a land surveyor can help both buyers and sellers understand the true value and potential of the property.

To build a fence

If you are putting up a new fence a surveyor can mark out your property corners to ensure that your new fence is placed on your property.

To obtain a mortgage or refinance

Lenders may require a survey as part of the mortgage application process to verify the property's boundaries and assess its value and risk.

To purchase a property

Before buying or selling a piece of land or real estate, a survey may be required to determine property boundaries, easements, encroachments, and other relevant information.

To build a new house or an addition

Surveys are essential for planning and designing construction projects. They provide accurate measurements of the land and help identify potential challenges or constraints.

To rectify a boundary dispute

When there are disagreements between neighboring property owners about property lines or encroachments, a survey can help clarify the boundaries and resolve disputes.
