Verification Survey

What is a Verification Survey?

A verification survey is conducted to confirm whether a parcel of land on the ground matches the technical description and details found in official land records such as titles, tax declarations, or approved survey plans. Licensed geodetic engineers examine both the physical boundaries and the legal documents to verify consistency and accuracy.

This type of survey is especially important in cases where ownership or boundary claims are in question. It serves as the professional basis for determining if a property has been surveyed correctly in relation to its registered records.

When is a Verification Survey Needed?

Verification surveys are often required in situations where property accuracy is critical. Some common scenarios include:

Land disputes or court cases – To provide evidence in legal proceedings involving property claims or encroachments.
Buying or selling property – To ensure the land being transacted is accurately described and matches the area stated in the title.
Property consolidation or subdivision – To confirm that the original lot information is correct before creating new property divisions.
For government requirements – Many government agencies and regulatory bodies require a verification survey before approving permits or land transactions.
Checking survey validity – To confirm that previous surveys and markers are accurate and still reflect the official land records.

Why is a Verification Survey Important?

Accuracy in land ownership and documentation is essential. Without verification, there is a risk of boundary conflicts, overlapping titles, or disputes that could delay projects or lead to costly legal battles. A verification survey provides clarity and peace of mind by ensuring that what's on paper is consistent with what's on the ground.

It also strengthens the credibility of property records, making it easier to secure permits, process land titles, or complete transactions. For developers and contractors, verified land data ensures smoother project planning and compliance with regulations.
