Do I need a survey of my property?

The purpose of a survey is to provide the owners with information about the property including the size and shape of their property and any improvements made within the limits– paying particular attention to improvements built near the boundary such as fences and sheds. According to the law, only a licensed Ontario Land Surveyor can provide you with this information.

A survey is often required by property owners who wish to make changes to their property, like adding a garage or building a fence but a survey can also be useful for owners looking for more information about their property.  A survey may also be required to settle a dispute or when buying or selling a property as part of a condition of sale or mortgage.

As a licensed Ontario Land Surveyor I will be happy to discuss your particular situation with you and help you determine if a survey of your property is recommended for your needs.
