Why Some Title Companies are Now Requiring Land Surveys

If you have recently entered into a real estate contract for the purchase or sale of real property, you may have noticed some new requirements from your Title Company. Some Title Companies are now requiring Land Surveys to be performed on real property prior to providing title insurance to their clients. A “title” is essentially a legal right to ownership, and it is the goal of a title insurance underwriter to offer the unburdened transfer of a property to its new owner; free from potential liens, claims, unpaid taxes, and/or disputes over property lines, easements, and encroachments. Some title companies request land surveys because property descriptions from deeds can be vague, and a clear description of the property is required. Title Companies know that a Professional Land Survey provided by a licensed and reputable third-party will help prevent any title issues at closing or later on, and this is why many Title Companies require land surveys.

Using hunting maps or apps to find your property lines is like using CHAT GPT for brain surgery instructions. It’s risky, often errant, and can lead to expensive, time consuming, and sometimes weighty mistakes. While you might be able to use these maps on large hunting tracts to give you a general idea of property lines (although one might argue that trespassing with a rifle accidentally on someone else’s property is even more dangerous), there are a few things to keep in mind:
1) The hunting app data, which is pulled from the county assessors records, is often flawed and can cause property lines that are listed on the app to be incorrect.
2) If using a cell phone to find a boundary line, your phone’s location is only accurate within ± 10 feet. If you’re thinking about installing a fence, building, landscaping, or another improvement, this could be a very costly error.
3) While the apps advertise their accuracy, most hunting apps have disclaimers indemnifying themselves in the event that a user is provided with incorrect data on the app. This means that you would be solely responsible for any such error.
If you’re trying to get a general idea of where your property lines are, start with your county’s Register of Deeds, and obtain the deed to your property. Measuring off your own property using the deed is an option for estimating the location of your property lines, although it is still risky and not legally-binding. Keep in mind that there are a lot of other factors that affect the determination of where your property lines are, which may not be evident on your deed.
If you want to know exactly where your property lines are and be provided with a written and recorded land survey including a map and legal description, we recommend ditching the hunting app and obtaining a formal boundary survey from a licensed Professional Land Surveyor. The survey, including the maps and written description, are formal legal documents, and defensible in court.
Here at Southeast Surveyors, LLC., we have survey instruments that are precise and accurate for measuring minute detail, and a dedicated team of professionals with decades of survey experience. We can take the guess work out when it comes to your property boundaries. Please call us and let us help!
