A Georgia Minimum standard, or boundary survey, is the most basic type of survey. This type of survey is also known as a mortgage or loan survey as it was traditionally what would be provided at a home loan closing. The survey crew will visit the property to collect the necessary data. From this data, a scale drawing (plat) is drawn which illustrates property lines, bearings and distances along these lines, and total acreage. The survey will also show any improvements that may exist, such as buildings, driveways, fences, pools, etc. This type of survey will also show encroachments on site if indeed any exist. The survey crew will also make sure that all property corners are well flagged and will re-set any pins that are missing. This type survey is available in hand-drafted form or AutoCAD by special request (additional fee may apply for AutoCAD version).
This type survey is also available for commercial sites.
