What is included in a land surveyor's report?

The inclusion of findings of a survey, particularly regarding boundary lines, is a fundamental aspect of a land surveyor's report. This report typically provides exact measurements and descriptions of the property’s boundaries, outlines any encroachments or overlaps with neighboring properties, and verifies property lines against the information available in public records. Accurate determination of these boundaries is crucial for establishing legal property lines, resolving disputes, and ensuring proper adherence to local regulations.

While a summary of zoning regulations, the market value of the property, and details of landscaping features could be valuable information, they are not standard components of a land surveyor’s report. A land surveyor focuses on technical aspects relevant to property boundaries rather than economic assessments or aesthetic characteristics. Therefore, the findings regarding boundary lines are what chiefly define the purpose and content of the surveyor's report.
