Boundary Survey

Rutzen Survey Services completes boundary surveys, typically known as Plat of Survey’s all throughout Wisconsin. To perform a proper boundary survey, it all starts with abiding and following the minimum standards laid out in A-E 7 of the Wisconsin Administrative code for minimum standards for property surveys. These codes apply to every survey performed in the State of Wisconsin and all licensed surveyors are required to follow them.

The surveyor will locate and measure the found evidence in the field such as existing property corner monuments, subdivision corners, section corners, fence lines and any evidence of occupation. This information will then be analyzed and compared with the recorded deed for the subject parcel to determine the property boundary. After the licensed surveyor analyzes and computes the property boundary, iron rods are set at property corners where missing. A final survey map is then prepared showing the boundary location, existing and new monuments at corners, encroachments, legal description and certification by the land surveyor.

Boundary surveys are recommended (often required) for the following:  land transactions, basic design, home additions, property line marking, boundary line disputes, area calculation, flood zone determination and much more.
