One of the most common concerns landowners have is whether they need a survey before selling.
In most cases, the answer is no.
When a Survey Is NOT Required
Most vacant land transactions rely on:
- Legal descriptions
- Existing parcel boundaries
- Title records
A new survey is often unnecessary unless:
- Boundaries are disputed
- The buyer plans to subdivide
- There are access concerns
Why This Matters
Surveys can cost $1,000–$3,000 or more.
Many sellers choose to avoid this cost by selling directly to a buyer who does not require one.
