Land Survey ?

[maker4life]

I'm about to get some prices to survey my property. Last one was done in '94 but the lines haven't been kept up and the fire break has pretty much grown up. Now a neighbor is putting flagging on what I know is my side.

It's ten acres and fairly thick anong the lines. I have the plat from the last survey and the description. Anyone had a similar survey done recently? Just wondering what a round about cost I should be expecting.

You should have pins in place. Also check to see if your county has GIS data online. It will give you the GPS coordinates of everything

Why is your neighbor flagging?

If he is planning a project, he may be willing to split the cost to make sure the project is done right.

Have you talked with your neighbor to see if he found the corner pins? Find out why he is putting up flags. Is he doing it himself or having a surveyor do it?

His flags don't change anything as far as the property lines unless a surveyor is doing the work. Before I spent money for something that already exists I would ask some question of the neighbor.

It's been an ongoing thing. He's not surveyed his. He actually logged his place about two years back. At that point he cut over my line and our neighbor on the back side. He only got a couple of my trees then and I notified him of it. Wasn't a big deal but his guys left a lot of debris on my side and I asked him to clean it up and of course he didn't. Not sure what he has going on now but I feel like I'm going to have to get my line marked good to stop whatever it is.

And I'm pretty sure he's pulled up some pins.

use the current survey to get a break on the price for an updated survey where the property lines are marked again.

Sounds like all you need is for a surveyor to shoot the common boundary line between you and Mr. McNasty.

This and keep a close eye on the neighbor. Sounds like one of those "I don't care what's recorded on paper, I know where MY line is!" kind of guy. They tend to push until you have to litigate to stop them.

10 acres would be fairly cheap..Unless they have to travel a long ways to get to your property, I would guess $400-500.

When you get your lines marked I would suggest driving a steel t post next to the pins and then sliding a piece of pvc pipe over it. Makes it easy to find the line if you don't keep it clear. It also makes it easy for your neighbor to see the line.

Put up 10 to 20 feet of fence at each corner.

good luck, I had to get an attorney involved with a neighbor
trying to put his driveway across our land, He already has nice paved roads in front of his building site, He is known for causing troubles up here.

x2 This works well.

i would get extra pins placed maybe every 50 feet if i was to purchase a new survey, good luck
