I just bought a house last April and want a survey of my property is there any way i can receive it for free?

No. Not unless you know a Land Surveyor. If you know one, you may ask them. I do some work for free, but it is usually for non profit groups. Why do you think you need a survey? Do you have an issue with a neighbor? Or are you looking to build? When you bought your property you recieved a deed description, that tells you where your corners are. You can easily use a compass and measuring tape (300 footer is best) to find your corners. If your corner markers are missing, you can use some ribbon to mark them out, but I would not recomend setting any markers yourself. When we (Professional Land Surveyors) set boundary markers, we set them EXACTLY where they should be and without the appropriate equipment, you will not be able to do so. If it an old parcel, chances are your markers are buried anyhow.


Most times new homeowners think they need a survey when they really don't. I would not recomend calling a surveyor unless you have a real boundary dispute going on, it can be a costly venture to have on come out just to show you where your corners are.





Hope this helps

If you want a property survey, you're on your own to hire a surveyor and pay for it. Surveys are NOT free anywhere.

Reply:Your Title Report should include a very good description of your property.
