How to Order a Survey

Surveys disclose the exact physical location of the property, its size, any encroachments, and the location of easements.

Survey Types

  • Class A: Urban surveys
  • Class B: Suburban surveys
  • Class C: Rural surveys
  • Class D: Mountain and marshland surveys

Recommendation

Request an “ALTA/ACSM land title survey” as the standard. Ensure the survey is current — no more than six months old.
