Boundary Survey
A survey for property located within a residential area (typically less than 3 acres). This is a “normal” survey in which the corners are located and or replaced. All visible improvements and/or easements are also located. The information is processed and placed on a map, as well as any known easements.
When surveying a large tract of land, the field crew may or may not travel along every line and they may or may not physically inspect the bulk of the land contained within the boundary. Therefore, it is conceivable that improvements and encroachments may be missed in the course of the work. All reasonable efforts are made to ensure this isn’t the case, but it isn’t outside of the realm of possibilities.
Per Tenn. Code Ann. § 62-18-127: “A professional land surveyor shall search the land records of the land to be surveyed filed in the register of deeds office and obtain the deeds of record of all the adjoining landowners as it pertains to the common boundaries. The professional land surveyor shall have the additional responsibility to utilize documents of public record or unrecorded documents or
“A professional land surveyor shall search the land records of the land to be surveyed filed in the register of deeds office and obtain the deeds of record of all the adjoining landowners as it pertains to the common boundaries. The professional land surveyor shall have the additional responsibility to utilize documents of public record or unrecorded documents or plats supplied to the surveyor at the time of the survey to resolve any discrepancies between the subject land and any adjoining lands. Evidence found from these sources shall be carefully compared with that located or found in the field survey in order to aid in the establishment of the original boundaries of the land being surveyed. It is not the intent of this section to require the professional land surveyor to research the title or encumbrances on the land involved.”
Essentially, a surveyor is not required to do title research. A surveyor is only required to use the current information unless other, legal information is provided. Any non-recorded documents provided may be used as evidence, but are not necessarily binding on the outcome of the survey.
