Boundary Surveys
Boundary Retracement
A boundary retracement survey is the process of re-establishing the original boundaries of a property based on historical records, existing monuments, and physical evidence on the ground. It involves careful analysis of deeds, maps, and previous surveys to accurately determine property lines. The survey ensures that the boundaries are properly marked and legally defined, often used in disputes or for property transfers. A detailed survey map is provided, and if the legal description is outdated, a new one is prepared to meet current regulations.
Lot Consolidation
A lot consolidation involves combining two or more adjacent parcels of land into a single larger lot, typically to improve the use of the property or meet zoning requirements. This process requires the submission of a plat or survey to the local planning commission or zoning office for approval. Once approved, the new consolidated lot is recorded with the county auditor’s office, and the individual parcel descriptions are replaced with the new, unified lot description.
Subdivision Survey
A subdivision survey is the process of dividing a larger parcel of land into smaller, legally defined lots for development or sale. The survey includes the creation of a plat map that details the boundaries, streets, utilities, and easements for each lot, which must comply with local zoning and subdivision regulations. Once approved by the local planning commission and recorded with the county, the subdivision is legally recognized, and individual lots can be sold or developed.
Replat
A replat modifies an existing subdivision or property layout by adjusting lot lines, combining or dividing parcels, or updating easements. This process ensures compliance with local regulations and accommodates changes in land use or development plans.
