Instructions

For Survey and Surveyor's Certificate

A survey to be acceptable to _________ Title Insurance Company, must be prepared in U.S. standard of

measurements and if within corporate limits of any town, village or city, must be a "transit" survey and not a

"compass" survey. Preference will always be given to surveys showing bearings referred to true north but all

surveys which show bearings must designate the meridian referred to whether true, magnetic or arbitrary and if true

meridian is not used approximate deflection must be noted on the plat.

1. Boundaries. Every survey, whether of farm or city property, must indicate the physical character of the

boundary lines, that is, whether fence, wall, watercourse, highway, etc., and if no physical evidence of boundaries

exist, such fact must be noted. Any material variations from the record lines by fences, walls or structures, whether

on the property surveyed or adjoining, must be shown, with the extent of such variations. If any of the boundaries or

lines of record coincide with lot or property lines on any filed map, or are adopted from previous surveys, whether by

the same surveyors or otherwise, such facts should be shown on the plat. The surveyor is required to check the

description of adjoining owners, when furnished to surveyor and show the extent of any variations between the

boundaries as stated in that description and those of the property surveyed.

2. Rights-of-Way, Cemeteries, etc. The surveyor must indicate any watercourses, drains, sewers, roads, paths or

trails crossing the property, the closing of which might affect the rights of adjoining owners, whether legal or

assumed. The surveyor must also show any existing cemetery or burying grounds on surveyed or adjacent property.

3. Streets and Alleys. Names of streets and alleys must be shown with the distance from the nearest corner to

beginning point of property surveyed. Width of street and sidewalk in front or at side of premises should be shown

with width of alley in rear or side of premises.
