A property survey is a drawing of land showing the property boundaries and physical features. Some surveys also note information such as elevation and soil density. Residential documents typically show the location of houses and other structures, too. These drawings are treated like official records and help settle property disputes, determine land value, and ownership history. The way surveys are created and what they contain can vary and depend on the type of property. Basically surveys create a record of land placement and property line.

Property surveys also protect the home owner and home buyer by containing a legal description of the property boundaries. The survey provides information on any potential boundary disputes.  The surveyor can become an witness in court and assumes responsibility for the accuracy of the report. 

A property survey typically includes

• The street address

• A legal description of the property including the dimensions and locations of the property boundaries

• The location of all buildings relative to the property's boundaries

• The location and description of all improvements

• The type and location of any easements or covenants

• The location of adjacent properties
