recorded deed. Improvements along the boundary affecting the use of or title
to the property are located, such as fences, drives, utilities, buildings,
sheds, streets, encroachments, etc. Missing property corner markers are

Residential Lot Survey:
Commonly referred to as a Final Survey or As-Built Survey. A boundary
and location survey of all interior improvements. Missing property corner
markers are replaced. A map showing the boundaries and improvements is
prepared. This type of survey may be required for the acquisition of a loan
or required by a local government prior to the issuance of a certificate of
occupancy.
GPS (Global Positioning Survey):
GPS surveys use portable receiving antennas to gather data transmitted
from satellites which are used to calculate the position of the object being
located on the surface of the earth. The receiving antennas can be miles
apart and still obtain very accurate data. GPS surveys are used to establish
coordinate control points for the State Plane Coordinate Systems, large
boundary surveys and subdivision surveys. It can also be used to collect
data for Geographic Information Systems / Land Information Systems (GIS/LIS),
such as the location of streets, homes, businesses, electric, phone & gas
utilities, water & sewer systems, property lines, soil & vegetation types,
water courses, etc. This data can be used in future planning, preservation
and development.
