A Boundary Survey is where we physically measure the property corners of the subject tract to determine location of boundary by either finding the original corners or setting new monumentation. This is also where we calculate acreage and provide a legal description for the subject tract that will identify the tract to the public. An Improvement Survey adds to the boundary the improvements to the property. It would include things such as the house, pool, outbuildings, and drives. Basically anything that adds value to your property.

An Improvement Survey will always come with a plat. If it is in a Platted Subdivision, there will be no field notes. A Boundary Survey will always come with a set of field notes. The Saxon Surveying policy is to provide a plat of survey also.

A Plat is a pictorial representation of the property. If requested, it will show the improvements to the property. This is usually what is needed when a bank or title company requests a survey during a property transaction.

Field Notes Involve a written description of the boundaries of the property. It is what is normally attached to the Deed by the title company when a property transaction takes place. We will be glad to send these to your title company electronically.
