You survey whatever amount of property monuments to where you are proud to place your name to it and satisfy your BOR regulations.

I agree with Harris.?ÿ You'll just have to locate and verify the monuments that is needed to complete the survey.?ÿ Verifying the monuments will take time but it is what it is.?ÿ

Fence line survey or boundary survey or is this merely deed staking (known as "slapping the math" on the ground)??????

Once again, we have uncovered and are arguing over another surveyor myth.?ÿ I have never seen any requirement that we are only allowed to only survey full parcels.?ÿ This assertion is ridiculous.?ÿ What about a 1600 acre ranch lying in 5 sections??ÿ Are we forbid from retracing or resurveying?ÿa 1/4 mile line lying on a boundary without surveying the entire ranch??ÿ Really??ÿ?ÿ

This same logic applies to a 1/4 ac lot in a subdivision.?ÿ If I can find the boundary on the east side from adequate relevant evidence, using proper boundary law principles, why should I have to re-survey the west boundary if all the client wants is the east boundary??ÿ

Someone mentioned the fact that one boundary of a parcel is also one boundary of another.?ÿ Using the irrational argument that we can only survey full parcels, are we not then required to survey all the boundaries of the adjoining tracts??ÿ What about their adjoiners??ÿ Where are we allowed to stop, when we hit the principle meridian, or initial point??ÿ

Each and every line and/or corner must stand on is own legal principles during a resurvey.

If you read enough boundary cases, you will find the courts usually just adjudicate one boundary (if that is all that is disputed), they do not adjudicate all the boundaries to settle an argument over one line.?ÿ If fact, next week I will stake one line that was decided at the district court and recently upheld at the state supreme court.?ÿ No, the court did not order me to survey every boundary in the block - just one line.

@ James Flemming
Thank you.?ÿ You're points about professionalism and case by case scenario ring true.?ÿ Usually it is a small 4 corner lot that I've seen fence request or disputes on.?ÿ The larger tracts, as in your example, was something I hadn't approached for fence or property line disputes.

I always tell them it's like building one wall of a house.

But its not, a house with one wall can't be used.?ÿ A survey of one line can be used by the client to determine the location of that line....
