An Agricultural Land Surveying Process
A commercial land surveying service will provide you with insight concerning where your farmland ends and begins. If you would like to optimize your agricultural property by using every available inch for planting and other farming practices, having access to an updated land survey is essential.
The Register Of Deeds
The register of deeds is a record of real estate deeds and land titles. A register of deeds office is located within a local court building. If you have a recent tax bill, this will identify the land parcel that you own. You can use the land parcel number to acquire the deed to your property.
The deed will list the parameters of the property, and your name and current address. There may be clauses within your deed that you do not automatically understand. If there is any wording that is difficult to decipher, a land surveyor will be someone who can help you comprehend the wording that is printed on the deed.
The Land Surveying Process
A land surveyor will physically inspect the farmland and will compare their findings to what is printed on your deed. Not all acreage is going to be evenly shaped. Your farmland could be spread out and contain an irregular shape. A surveyor will need to determine if their surveying process matches what is printed on your deed.
The surveyor will use some special equipment to conduct the surveying process. They will move the equipment across your land and will measure and mark each side of your land. Marking the land will help you keep track of what is rightfully yours. Before you make any changes to your agricultural property, including having new structures built, you may need a copy of an updated deed.
A surveyor will prepare a new deed that will contain details about the actual amount of land that you own and the location of the agricultural property. You can obtain a copy of the new deed. If you would like to permanently mark the outline of your land, consider having a new fence installed. A fence can be used to mark the edges of your land.
The enclosure will help you determine where to add new agricultural structures and other farming essentials. It will also prevent you from building upon land that is not rightfully yours. This will eliminate any worries about being mandated to move a new structure that you have built.
