Property Line Survey
Ensuring Legal Compliance Through Precise Property Line Survey
Here at Mission Property Line Survey, we understand how critically important an accurate land survey is for any project that involves real property. From simple home additions to large-scale commercial developments, having the boundaries and dimensions of your land precisely documented is essential for planning permission, construction work, and ultimately establishing clear ownership.
Our team of licensed land surveyors has decades of combined experience performing all types of surveys to verify property lines, corners, and property dimensions. Whether you need a full boundary survey, lot line adjustments, or permits for new construction, we can provide the detailed surveying data and legal descriptions required to confidently move your project forward in compliance with local regulations.
Property Line Location & Marking Property Corners
One of the fundamental land surveying services we offer is physically locating and marking property corners and boundaries in the field. Using the most up-to-date surveying technologies like robotic total stations, we precisely recreate the lines established by prior surveys to permanently mark corner points with steel pins or monuments. This on-the-ground marking is important for siting new structures, verifying setbacks, and ensuring no encroachments over neighboring properties.
Lot Line Adjustments
Shifting lot lines through the filing of a lot line adjustment (LLA) can provide solutions when property configurations no longer meet your needs. We prepare the required maps and legal descriptions to accurately depict how boundary lines will be redrawn between two or three adjoining parcels subject to city approval. Correctly processing an LLA helps maximize the uses and value of your land holdings.
Lot Mergers
On the other hand, merging multiple contiguous parcels into a single legal lot through a lot merger allows for more flexibility in planning larger developments. We take on the task of researching title documents, creating new parcel boundary maps, and handling the recording process so you can build without boundaries.
Lot Subdivision & Parcel Maps
Subdividing an existing parcel into separate legal lots for sale or construction often involves filing a tentative and final parcel map with the local planning department. Our skilled surveyors design maps showing the layout of proposed lots, roads, utility easements, and other improvements following subdivision regulations.
Record of Survey
If uncertain property lines are discovered during new construction, a Record of Survey may need to be filed to officially document any monuments found or set and retrace any discrepancies. We have the expertise to research records, survey the land, and draw maps clarifying boundary evidence for owners and title companies.
Construction Staking
No project can move forward without precisely knowing where to locate infrastructure. Our construction staking services place stakes, flags, or marking paint so contractors can grade sites, lay foundations, and install underground utilities like water, sewer, and power lines in the right locations according to approved engineering plans at every step of development.
Height Certificates & Setback Certifications
In addition to boundary data, verifying building heights and required setbacks from property lines is important for code compliance. We survey proposed and built structures to prepare legal documentation of compliance with development standards for permit issuance and property transfers.
ADU Surveys
Accessory dwelling units, or ADU surveys, involve measuring an existing home and lot to certify that minimum size requirements, height limits, and setbacks to property lines will be maintained for a second independent living space on single-family residential properties.
Topographic Surveys
Beyond property boundaries, we also perform topographic surveys which use sophisticated surveying equipment to map ground elevations, record visible foundations, and infrastructure, identify natural site features, and even underground utilities. The result is a detailed contour map which is vital for grading plans, drainage studies, and engineering design of all kinds.
Along with these core services, we can also provide corner records for documenting individual property corners, FEMA elevation certificates required for flood zones, easement surveys to mark utility or access rights of way, dedication maps, and much more.
