A survey of a lot in a recorded tract map — for example, "Lot 53 of Tract No. 5744 recorded in Map Book 71, Pages 55 and 56." A Corner Record is typically filed with the County Surveyor.
Commonly requested before buying, selling, or building, and to confirm corners for fences, additions, or permits.
A boundary survey is a professional service that officially defines and maps the exact property lines and corners of a piece of land. It involves legal record research and field measurements to set physical corner markers, identify encroachments (that is, fences over the line), and define easements.
A topographic survey maps the three-dimensional features of your land: elevations, slopes, existing structures, utilities, trees, and drainage. Architects, engineers, and contractors use our topos as the base layer for grading plans, drainage design, and building permits.
Legal descriptions describe the boundaries of parcels conveyed in a deed — typically required for lot line adjustments, parcel mergers, and road or utility easements. California law requires that most legal descriptions be written by a licensed land surveyor.
Every description we draft is built to survive a County recorder review and stand up in a title chain for decades.
When a survey exposes a possible encroachment — a fence over the line, a building crossing a setback, a shed on the neighbor's parcel — we'll bring it to your attention right away. When the situation calls for it, we'll document the encroachment with a sketch or map so you, your attorney, or your title company have a clean visual record.
Developing a property that fronts a public road? Local agencies — the Town of Yucca Valley, the City of Twentynine Palms, and others — often require an Offer of Road Dedication (sometimes called an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication) as a condition of permits. We prepare the legal description, exhibits, and associated documents to meet local agency requirements.
If you own two or more adjoining parcels, merging them can simplify ownership, taxes, and development. A lot merger can also bring parcels into compliance with the California Subdivision Map Act or local codes. We prepare the lot merger plot plan and supporting exhibits to meet local agency requirements; the deeds themselves are handled by the County.
A site plan is a drawing of your parcel showing existing conditions — boundaries, setbacks, utilities, and existing structures on a single sheet. Similar to a topographic survey, but without elevations. Often used for building permits, design review, or as the base your architect or engineer designs from.
