Boundary Surveys

Defining property lines with clarity and professional judgment

A Boundary Survey establishes the precise location of property lines based on recorded documents and field evidence. It provides clarity on ownership limits and helps resolve questions related to land use, access, and improvements.

At Eagle Surveying, boundary surveys are completed with careful research, detailed fieldwork, and professional interpretation providing dependable information that supports confident property decisions.

What Eagle Surveying provides with boundary surveys

Boundary surveys require more than measurements alone. Eagle Surveying combines record research with on-site investigation to determine how property lines are defined and represented on the ground.

Our boundary survey services typically include:

  • Review of deeds, plats, and recorded boundary documents
  • Field location or reestablishment of property corners
  • Evaluation of boundary evidence and adjoining properties
  • Identification of visible improvements related to the boundary
  • Survey documentation suitable for ownership, planning, or legal reference

Our approach

All boundary surveys are completed under the direction of Texas-licensed Registered Professional Land Surveyors and supported by experienced field crews.

  • Our approach emphasizes:
  • Thorough record research
  • Consistent field procedures
  • Clear documentation
  • Coordination with related survey services

Boundary surveys are often performed alongside Category 1A surveys, ALTA surveys, or platting services as part of a broader project scope.

When a boundary survey is needed

Boundary surveys are commonly requested for:

  • Property ownership clarification
  • Property line disputes or questions
  • Land development planning
  • Fence or improvement placement
  • Preparation for future design or platting
  • Legal or title-related matters

They are appropriate for residential, commercial, and undeveloped properties alike.

Boundary surveys compared to other survey types

Choosing the right survey depends on how the information will be used. Eagle Surveying helps clients select the appropriate service based on project needs.

Boundary Surveys vs. Category 1A Surveys
Boundary surveys focus on definitively establishing property lines and ownership limits. Category 1A surveys are typically used during the planning and design phase and provide boundary information intended to support engineering and layout decisions rather than final ownership documentation.

Boundary Surveys vs. ALTA / NSPS Surveys
An ALTA / NSPS survey is a comprehensive survey often required for commercial real estate transactions and includes title-driven requirements beyond boundary determination. Boundary surveys are commonly used when a transaction-level survey is not required but clear property limits are still needed.
