Cadastral Survey

A cadastral survey is a survey of a piece of land that is used to create a detailed map of the property boundary and the features found within it. The survey will include the boundary lines, existing structures, improvements, easements, and other features that are legally registered with the local government. This survey is often used for legal purposes, such as creating a deed or deed of trust, creating a mortgage, or creating a survey for a new development project.

Importance

A cadastral survey is important because it is used to define and manage land boundaries, classify land use and ownership, and regulate land use. It is also used to determine the land value and taxation, plan land use and development, and provide the legal basis for land ownership and boundary disputes. Cadastral surveys provide a reliable record of property ownership and boundaries, helping to ensure that land owners can confidently make informed decisions about their land.

Use Case

A cadastral survey is conducted to provide an accurate record of the boundaries and land parcels associated with a particular property. The survey is conducted by a qualified land surveyor who will use a variety of equipment and techniques to measure and map out the boundaries of the property. The surveyor will then provide a detailed report which includes a map of the property and a description of the boundaries. This information is then entered into a database, allowing the property owner to have access to an accurate record of their boundaries and land parcels. This information can be used for a variety of purposes such as determining the exact size of a property, determining the value of the property, or helping to resolve boundary disputes.
