A Boundary Survey is the process of finding, identifying, measuring, and reporting the location of the boundary lines of a parcel of land. A Boundary Survey will also indicate the extent of any easements, whether burdening the locus parcel (such as a utility line easement crossing the subject property to a neighboring property) or appurtenant to the locus parcel (such as the right to cross another property for access to a town road). A Boundary Survey should also reveal any encroachments. An encroachment is the use of a parcel of land by an individual other than the owner without the benefit of a recorded right to do so. The neighbors might be encroaching on the locus parcel or vice versa. Either occurrence will be reported on the Boundary Survey.
Sometimes two adjoining landowners will have a boundary survey performed in order to adjust the common line between the two parcels. This is called a Boundary Line Adjustment.
