🏡 Landowners, ever wonder what a “partition survey” is?

A partition happens when a property is divided into separate parcels, usually because:
• Multiple owners want to split the land
• A property is being sold or inherited
• There’s a need to clearly define boundaries

A partition survey makes sure each new parcel has accurate, legal boundaries so there are no disputes later. Basically, it’s like giving each piece of land its own clear “identity” on the map!

💡 Why it matters:
• Prevents boundary disputes with neighbors
• Makes property transfers or sales smooth
• Ensures your land records are accurate with the county

At TC Survey and Mapping, we help landowners divide, map, and clearly define their property with precision. 🗺️

🌍 Fun Fact of the Day🌍

Did you know the longest straight-line land survey in history stretched over 200 miles? Back in the 1800s, surveyors had to measure huge stretches of land using only chains, compasses, and a ton of patience and no GPS, no drones, just raw skill and determination. Talk about dedication! 😲

Next time you see a perfectly straight property line, remember: someone once spent weeks in the wild just to get it right.

📐 ALTA Survey vs. Title Survey — What’s the Difference?

If you’re buying property, you might hear both of these terms—and they’re easy to mix up. Here’s a simple breakdown 👇

🔍 ALTA Survey (ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey)
An ALTA survey follows strict standards set by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS).

It’s the most detailed type of survey, usually required for commercial properties.

✔ Boundaries & dimensions
✔ Buildings & improvements
✔ Easements & rights-of-way
✔ Encroachments
✔ Utilities
✔ Optional add-ons like zoning & flood info

👉 Think of it as the full picture of a property.

---

📄 Title Survey (Boundary/Improvement Survey)
A title survey is simpler and more common for residential properties.

✔ Property boundaries
✔ Main structures (house, driveway, etc.)
✔ Visible encroachments

👉 Think of it as a basic snapshot.

---

💡 The Bottom Line:
ALTA Survey = detailed, standardized, commercial use
Title Survey = simpler, flexible, residential use

🧠 Easy way to remember:
ALTA = Everything
Title Survey = The basics

📏 Land Surveying Fun Fact of the Day

Did you know?

Many property boundaries in the U.S. are still based on the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), created in 1785—and some of those original measurements were done with chains and compasses, which means modern surveys sometimes uncover small errors that are over 200 years old!
