| How Do I Find My Lot Line |
| At the Register of Deeds, if the piece of ground you own has been
platted [1],
we will have a picture of the lot lines in a map form. You can request
a copy of the plat and the Register of Deeds will copy it for you. There
is a charge set by law at a $1.00 a document for an uncertified copy of that
plat. |
| However, the plat will hopefully show you the lot lines, but the Register
of Deeds cannot show you where the pins are at on your property. If you
cannot find the surveryor's markings or pins yourself, then you must contact
a surveyor. |
| There are several surveying firms in the area, but we only have one firm
in Davison County which is: |
Schmucker, Paul, Nohr and Associates Consulting Engineers

| How do I tell if my ground has been platted |
First find a copy of the Deed to the land that you own or if that
is not accessible,
look at your last tax notice. On these documents you will find a legal
description. A legal description that is platted will be identified by
subdivision name and/or lot, block or tract. If it is an unplatted piece
of ground, it is identified according to the section, township and range. IF
YOUR GROUND IS UNPLATTED, WE WILL NOT HAVE A PLAT MAP FOR YOU TO LOOK AT
IN THE REGISTER OF DEEDS’ OFFICE.
(NOTE: Sometimes your legal description
may include a lot, block, subdivision and a section, township and range, in this
event, there would be
a plat filed
in the Register of Deeds Office.)
[1] Definition of a Plat: A map of a town, section, or subdivision indicating
the location and boundaries of individual properties.
I hope this information has been helpful to you. |
