boundary survey, (also called a pin survey) is a service in which the corners of the property are found or set by the land surveyor. A plat or map is created to show the property and monuments found or set during the survey. With the completion of the boundary survey, other services can be added to aid the property owner. Intermediate points can be set along the boundary lines to aid in the construction of a fence. The improvements (buildings, driveways, utilities, etc) can be collected and be shown on the plat to aid in the current or future use of the property. The property can be subdivided into smaller pieces and then sold. If title insurance is required for the property, then the standards of the ALTA / ACSM Land Title Survey can be added to the boundary survey.
