A boundary surveyor allows you to see the exact boundary of what you are buying or selling.
A boundary surveyor can determine if there are any easements for utilities such as water, sewer, drainage ways, power lines, etc. on your property.
A boundary surveyor identifies any encroachments like driveways, fences or buildings on the property or crossing any of your boundary lines.
A boundary survey and drawing provide you the exact property line measurements and the precise locations of all structures (houses, barns, etc.), fences, or driveways related to those property boundary lines.
Recently many areas of our state completed the process of updating the FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs).
These maps show the areas of potential flooding based on the 1-percent chance storm event.
This has been known in the past as the 100 year flood and is also known as the Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA).
When you get the amount of rain comprising the 1-percent storm the flood water will come to a certain elevation near your home, known as the Base Flood Elevation (BFE).
FEMA is required to assess its flood hazard map inventory at least once every 5 years.
A "Lot Survey" may also be known as a "Closing Survey" or "Mortgage Survey."
Typically, this type of survey is done at the request of banks, realtors, attorneys, and title companies prior to a loan closing.
It is usually understood to be a survey of a lot in a recorded subdivision.
A lot survey provides assurance to the lender and buyer that the property they are purchasing is what has been represented by the seller.
This may be one of the most important types of surveys for a homeowner since your home is usually your largest lifetime investment.

Much like any other type of survey, a topographic survey, or topo survey for short, is done to locate natural and man-made features on a particular parcel of land.
This is sometimes called planimetric features or things you can see from a plan view as if you were hovering over the site.
The topo survey usually also includes any man-made underground features, like utility lines.
The survey will also show above ground improvements like buildings, utility poles, retaining walls, etc.
The elevation or differences in elevation on the surface is usually shown as contours.
