My son and his wife recently bought a house in Portland and he sent me a pic of an 80d nail he found about midway back of his property wondering what it meant. I figured it was either a control point or possibly a point marking line but obviously, I couldn’t be sure. I decided to do a little research and was quite impressed that I could find the recorded survey in about 30 minutes. No way someone in Oregon would find a copy of a plat of my property in Georgia anywhere close to that time.
I am impressed with the detail, the narrative, and the obvious effort that was expended in producing the survey.
I am curious as to why the house was not shown. In this case, The house and attached garage straddled the property line at the time of survey. The garage was torn off so that the owner could sell the house on one lot and keep a vacant lot to sell later. Seems like that is some important information left off of an otherwise detailed survey.
I will add that it is standard practice where I survey to show visible improvements on boundary surveys and I realize that is not the case in other areas.
I’m curious if my son decided to just have his lines marked, is that even an option?
