A survey is a map of the plot taken from directions provided by the local land records department. A surveyor plots the perimeter of the land, drawing up the outline and physically marking the outline with little flags. If you plan to add a fence or construct any additions to the house, you’ll likely need a survey before pulling a permit for any construction.
While a survey is optional, it’s ideal to be aware of the perimeter of your new property.
