Most boundary problems start the same way. A fence, a shed, or a neighbor’s improvement has sat in roughly the same spot for years, and nobody knows where the real line is until a sale, a permit, or a dispute forces the question.

What is a boundary survey?

A boundary survey identifies the legal limits of a parcel. ATHCA researches the deed and plat record, measures on site, and marks corners so you can place fences and structures correctly, resolve line questions, and support permits and closings.

Boundary surveys across Southwest Florida

ATHCA’s boundary survey work is signed and sealed by a licensed Florida Professional Surveyor and Mapper, serving Sarasota, Manatee, and Charlotte counties as our home region and available statewide across Florida.

In Southwest Florida that question comes up two ways. Older platted neighborhoods in Sarasota, Bradenton, and Punta Gorda have fences and additions that drifted off the original lines over decades, and waterfront and canal lots are tight enough that a few inches against a seawall or a neighbor matters. ATHCA reconciles the deed, the plat, and the evidence on the ground for both.

Frequently asked questions

What is a boundary survey?
A boundary survey establishes the legal property lines and corners of a parcel. It is used for fences, structures, permits, closings, and resolving line questions.
Do I need a boundary survey to build a fence?
It is strongly recommended. A boundary survey confirms your corners so the fence sits on your land and not over the line, which avoids disputes and removal later.
How long does a boundary survey take?
Timing depends on parcel size and how much records research is needed. Send your address and we will give you a schedule with the quote.
How much does a boundary survey cost?
Cost depends on the parcel size, shape, terrain, and how much records research the lot needs. Send your address or parcel number and ATHCA will give you a firm quote and a schedule.
Will a boundary survey show encroachments?
Yes. If a fence, structure, or improvement crosses the line in either direction, the survey notes the encroachment so you can address it before a sale or a build.
