When to do a survey

There are two main reasons why you might want to survey your property.

• You're doing a home renovation project
• You're having a property line dispute with a neighbor

The Minnesota Society of Professional Surveys explains how surveys work.

The City cannot help

The City cannot:

• Provide surveys that show private property lines
• Send City staff to your house to locate your property lines
• Take sides in a dispute over a private property line

Surveyors, mediators and attorneys can help

If you need help completing a survey or settling a dispute, contact a professional.

• Work with a professional land surveyor to help you complete a survey.
• Work with a licensed attorney or mediator to help you with a property line dispute.
