Defining Lines: Understanding Survey Boundaries and Their Importance
Re-surveying is most repeated process on a land parcel, definitely when there’s a change in ownership, disputes or the entire to state to update and refresh the land records. Given the changes in the re-survey will directly proportional to the plots sizes in the selected survey parcel. With the help of GIS Technology there are huge error’s which were stuck for years got resolved and the number of man hours has reduced drastically.
The traditional methods had a good impact till date, but with the number of transactions and the number of people getting involved in the system is only going higher and with the help of technology with can reduce the human error percentage and also offering an time-efficient and accurate solutions.
The Role of Survey Map in Re-Surveying
Survey Map can play a vital role to verify dimensions of a survey parcel and can also help us with which SRO to visit and the respective admin details. To give more context here’s is one of the customer’s story:-
Sunil's Experience
Sunil, is one of the landeed customer who got benefited with the survey boundary to check his land parcel boundaries and the vertices after the re-survey is done. He has used the survey maps as the reference to check his re-surveyed land parcel and found that his re-surveyed parcel is the same.
Key Considerations After a Re-Survey
After completing a re-survey, several factors need careful attention:
- Survey lines : Check the survey boundaries to avoid the disputes
- Ownership: Look out for the land ownership and the nearby parcels
- LandUse : Check the landuse the survey parcel
- Cost: using the technology makes it much cost effective and less man power
- Administrative : Look out for the admin details which area is the survey parcel is in
Conclusion:-
Integrating the GIS with the land management not only saves the time, it’s much more efficient and accurate in land surveying. Looking at Sunil's scenario having a survey map for the land parcel helps in resolving and can make a difference.
Here’s the Sample Map from Landeed
Survey Map What are survey boundaries in land records?
Survey boundaries define the precise limits of a land parcel as measured and recorded by government surveyors. They include survey numbers, sub-divisions, and physical demarcations that establish legal ownership extent.
Why are survey boundaries important for property owners?
Survey boundaries prevent encroachment disputes, establish clear ownership limits, are required for property transactions, and form the basis for mutation, building permits, and land development approvals.
How to verify survey boundaries of a property?
Verify boundaries through government land records (7/12, RTC, Patta), Bhu Naksha maps, physical survey by licensed surveyors, and cross-checking with neighboring property documents.
What to do if there's a boundary dispute with neighbors?
First, verify official survey records from tehsil/taluk office. If disputes persist, approach the local revenue officer for demarcation. For complex cases, civil court intervention may be needed.
Can survey boundaries change over time?
Survey boundaries can change through land sub-division, consolidation (chakbandi), government acquisition, or re-survey operations. Always verify current records before property transactions.
