Before you buy, sell or subdivide any tract of land you should consult a Registered Professional Land Surveyor, additionally a survey should be performed when any of the following situations arise:

• The title to land is to be transferred and the land is not clearly defined by plat, description, or location on the surface of the earth.
• Land is to be divided by land contract, will, deed, court order, or by the desire of the land owner.
• Land is to be improved by the construction of buildings, roads, fences, lakes, etc.
• There is a boundary dispute between you and your neighbor or you believe someone is encroaching upon your land.
