Many rural properties throughout Indiana have not been professionally surveyed in decades. Property corners and survey markers installed in subdivision plats from the early 1900s through the 1980s may have shifted, been disturbed, or no longer accurately represent the legal property boundaries. While metal pins or pipes may be visible at property corners, their presence alone does not verify a property’s legal boundary—only a Licensed Professional Land Surveyor can determine and certify their accuracy. Before purchasing, selling, or developing property, it’s important to ensure the land matches the legal description in the deed. A current land survey can help identify boundary discrepancies, encroachments, and other issues before they become costly problems. It’s also important to understand that title insurance generally does not protect against boundary disputes or encroachments that could have been identified through a survey.
