Boundary & Property Line Surveys in Los Angeles & Ventura County

What a Boundary Survey Does

A boundary survey is performed to locate and evaluate existing monuments, research applicable records, and determine the location of your property lines based on professional analysis of the available evidence. The result is a clear deliverable you can use for planning, design, construction decisions, or documentation.

Common Reasons Clients Request a Boundary Survey

• Building or replacing a fence or wall near the property line
• Planning an ADU, addition, or remodel where setbacks matter
• Confirming property line assumptions before design work begins
• Lot line adjustments, easements, or boundary-related planning
• Resolving encroachment concerns or line conflicts with neighbors
• Due diligence before purchasing a property

What's Included

• Record research and analysis (deeds, maps, and documents applicable to the parcel)
• Field measurements to locate monuments and improvements
• Boundary evaluation using professional judgment and applicable evidence
• Survey map deliverable prepared for client use
• Corner setting or resetting when missing or required
