How To Conduct Missouri Boundary Survey

By Steven Gray


For those people with knowledge of land auditing, they know how difficult the process can be. But for those with no knowledge, they will only think that it involves just taking the measurements. However, these cartographers combine the knowledge of science, art, and research to come up with the actual location of boundary lines of an asset. For these professionals to do so, they must have a license and skills for the work. Below is the procedure of undertaking Missouri boundary survey.

The process of inspection begins with the professional auditor you have hired going through all the available records concerning your property. The records include abstracts, title certificates, and title opinions. The topographer must consider the previous surveys done. If the analysis was not done well, the topographer doing your work would have a lot of problems.

After determining the past or historical perimeters of your property, the topographer will start making his or her measurements of the bounds. This is done to compare the current demarcations with those that were established in the past. In the past days, most limits were determined by landmarks like trees, rivers, hills, and buildings. Currently, the task can become very challenging because some of these landmarks might have become extinct and are nowhere to be seen.

In the past, many topographers used to rely on tape measures and other manual ways of taking measurements of ambit lines. However, with the computer powered technology, there is equipment that uses satellite position such as the GPS to locate borderlines. Information gathering has been made more efficient for these experts. After collecting the current information about the boundary, the topographer will assess the data through an analysis.

Having finished taking the new measurements and completed his or her research, the expert will advise on the defects that may have been in the previous description of your land. If you as the landowner has any concerns, the expert will address them.

When all the raised concerns are addressed, the topographer should be able to give his or her assessment of where the exact borderlines lie. If the topographer is compliant with the state regulations of where the property lies, he or she has the power to declare the current property lines, and those become the legal bounds of the property.

There are circumstances whereby the new ambits will defer from those established previously. In such scenario, the neighbor with whom you share the bounds can have a different surveyor inspect his or her boundaries to determine whether those of yours and the neighbor match. In case of serious issues on the property like easements, encroachment or significance difference between legal borderlines of the asset, get advice.

In conclusion, if you are lucky and you get a good professional topographer, you will be guided through the boundary audit process, and the cartographer will answer any questions you might have. The process is likely to cost something, but it is important to have a compendium conducted. This is because in case of any issues in the future, the dispute will be easily solved and you will have the peace of mind regarding the land ownership. Ensure when hiring you get a professional who is willing to offer a guarantee.
