retracement surveys

Retracement surveys are conducted to verify and document the original location of property boundaries or landmarks. These surveys are crucial in cases of land disputes, property sales, or development projects. During a retracement survey, surveyors use historical documents, maps, and existing markers to accurately trace the original boundaries and features of a property. The goal is to ensure that the current understanding of the property lines aligns with legal records, providing clarity and preventing conflicts over land ownership or usage. This process helps maintain accurate land records and supports fair property transactions.
