By Anna Schmidt


Land surveying is not an easy job and this being the case, there are a few misconception about it and the reason that it is required. If you are pondering whether to have a survey carried out your soil property or one that you are planning to purchase, the chances are that you have fallen prey of these myths and they could be steering you wrong. Here are some six common Arizona land surveying myths that you need to know about.

Firstly, you should know that the inspection is is not a must if you can find a stake. If can find the stake used in the previous survey, then all you will know is that the person who surveyed your property previously might have found that the location was o the properties edge. You need to know that at times, what you might be considering a surveying monument might not be one. Other than that, your findings will not be credible in court while that of a licensed expert would.

You will also hear that a neighbor cannot encroach on your property line. When you involve a surveyor, you will find that these cases are so many. You could even be the one who has trespassed. If you are not sure about anything, you need the services of a professional.

There are people who feel that they are so sure about the property that they have that they can build a fence on the property without undergoing the inspection. This is not the case, the right and the only way that you can protect your property is if you hire a surveyor. This is to avoid building on the wrong property and having to tear down the entire work because you made a mistake.

You have also heard that if a fence has been there for long then it must be your property line. However, the truth is that you need to be worried in case the fence is old because in most of those earlier years, the records were not accurate. There is just usually an estimation that the property line ought to have been there but not that it actually is the property line.

The entire property has been surveyed. Most people think that they just need to find the surveyor. Just because you are living in the property does not mean that you are accurate of its line. Some of the lands were surveyed a long time ago, and the lines are not accurate. The only thing here is to be certain on the boundary and where it is located.

There are people who believe that ones they are done with the survey, they do not need to repeat it. This is not true, the property surveying is not a science, and it is possible for two surveys to have different results. At the same time, the survey is based on the facts that is found and the 2 surveyors operating at different points at that time might come with different evidence.

If you have issues with the land and the previous surveying professional that you used is being doubted, it is advisable to find someone new and well equipped with the latest instruments to so the surveying for you and you can compare the findings.
