• Platted lot, sectional subdivision or metes and bounds? |
Sectional subdivisions and metes and bounds properties can require that the entire section (± 640 acres) be surveyed, regardless of the area of the parcel. In extreme cases a survey of more than one section is required. To determine what type of subdivision your property is located within take a look at your legal description and compare it to these examples: |
