Before you can start building, you must have the parcel surveyed. This can run between $1,400 to $2,000.
You may have been provided a plat map, but unless it's been marked, you really don't know where your property boundaries are. Do not assume that the plat map is accurate. You need to have a licensed surveyor mark the property. Better yet, get the Seller to do it before you buy it.
Fences don't always fall on the property boundary. Often times, they don't.
Why is this important? Because there are set-backs you have to follow when it comes to building your home, garage, etc. You can be fined at best. Told to take it down at worst.
