Land surveys provide valuable information regarding property lines and any limitations regarding the use of your property, such as easements. Yet prior surveys are not required to be recorded in Texas. Deeds merely provide a legal description of the property in question. Therefore, locating previous surveys can be difficult, time-consuming and costly. Knowing where the property lines are is essential before developing property, closing escrow, or even completing home improvement projects. Before doing any home improvement projects that extend your existing buildings or adding other additions to the property require the use of land surveys. Knowing limitations with regards to easements or other property limitations is crucial before use of the property. Land surveys are necessary each time property changes hands and before refinancing property. Many professionals, such as the title company, your attorney, appraiser and lender all require access to your land surveys. Developers need property surveys to determine property lines, easements, or possibly even topographical information. Also, before completing a new land survey, your current surveyor needs access to your prior surveys to provide the most accurate information for your new survey.
