Cadastral Survey
A cadastral survey is a detailed survey conducted to establish and document the boundaries of land parcels. The primary purpose of cadastral surveys is to create an accurate map or plan of a particular area showing the boundaries, dimensions, and other pertinent details of individual parcels of land. These surveys are crucial for land management, property taxation, land ownership, and land use planning purposes.
Cadastral surveys typically involve the use of specialized equipment such as total stations, GPS receivers, and surveying software to precisely measure and map out the boundaries of land parcels. The surveyors meticulously document their findings, including measurements, landmarks, and any relevant legal descriptions, to create an official cadastral map or plan.
These surveys are often required for various purposes, such as property transactions, land development projects, zoning, and legal disputes over land boundaries. Cadastral surveys are usually conducted by licensed surveyors or government agencies responsible for land administration and cadastral mapping.
