Just wanted to add something that may save you some money. If you still have all the original paperwork from when you bought the house or land, chances are a property survey was performed at that time. It was probably ordered by the bank or financial company if there's a mortgage. Perhaps the title company has a copy since they usually will never grant title insurance without a recent survey or an update with a certification. You wouldn't have known about it unless you scrutinized the bills at the closing, but you paid for it. Sometimes a copy of the survey itself will be given to you. It will have the surveyor's name or the engineering company that does land surveying. You can contact the surveyor, engineering company or the title company, & they will probably have your survey on file. It could be in the previous property owner's name with just a recertification in your name to satisfy the bank & the title company. Instead of the surveyor doing a complete new land survey, which is expensive, they can use the old one to check measurements to verify if something was moved.

Good luck. up
