·The legal description of the property, (Lot, Block and Subdivision name, metes and bounds description, or deed recording information)

·The exact purpose of the survey

·A copy of title search or title insurance

·A copy of plats or plans showing boundaries

·All available information regarding disputes over corners or boundaries.

·All information you may have about the location of your lines or corners.

Provide the Surveyor with as much information as you can about your corners, boundaries, or past surveys, even though you believe that the information might adversely effect your holdings. It is important to understand that although you may really only want your own boundaries surveyed, the surveyor is also determining the boundary of the adjoining land, and must be impartial in the location of those boundaries. Frequently more time is spent verifying the point of beginning than is spent in laying out the property corners.
