Each segment will contain numbers and letters indicating the direction from North that the line proceeds as well as the distance to the next point. Once you find the beginning point you can follow each segment of the boundary until you return to the point of beginning. The point where the lines reach the surveyed parcel is referred to as “the point of beginning” or the “beginning point.” Some surveys will specifically identify these points as the “starting point” and “point of beginning.”
#Metes and bounds meaning series
From that point (the “starting point”) the survey plat will show a line or series of lines, with various points along the line marked, leading to the parcel that was surveyed. Survey plats will usually “tie in” to a United States Geological Survey Marker or some easily identified point such as the intersection of two highway rights of way or a corner of some previously surveyed tract of land. Now find the point of beginning for the parcel. You will see symbols indicating where pins from prior surveys were found (existing pin), where pins were placed by the surveyor who prepared the survey (pin placed), monuments, easements, structures and other information on the survey plat. This will orient you to the property’s actual location on the ground. To read a plat, first locate the North arrow. “Metes and bounds” refers to the surveyor’s measurements of each portion of the property boundary. A survey plat is a drawing prepared by a licensed land surveyor showing the actual location of a parcel of property.Ī survey plat will usually contain information about the surveyor, a brief title of the document, data regarding its preparation, a legend identifying symbols on the plat, identification of adjoining property owners and a “metes and bounds” description of the property.
