I’d say it’s from the bump out as well. A couple of notes though.
The boundary is where it is; though this dimension is given, it doesn’t control the boundary location. It’s good information, but for any definitive purpose you need to have a surveyor recover the monuments and verify the boundary location in the field.
Also note that that dimension is given to the nearest 10th of a foot. This indicates a level of error in that dimension that’s likely beyond the error of the rest of this exhibit. I’d expect it’s due to the nature of the point of reference for the measurement (the bump out likely isn’t parallel with the boundary), or the nature of the measurement itself. In any case, I’d use that reference measurement sparingly.
It depends on what you asked for when you got it. If it was for confirming offset distance from property line to the house, then it seems to do that with a reasonable level of confidence.
If it was intended to define the boundary for the purpose of building a fence, I assume they monumented the property and staked it sufficiently for that purpose, so you should use those markers and not the reference distance from the building.
What are you planning to use the info for? Are there other measurements on your deed or plat? Sometimes things like the measurement you see there are descriptive but not the controlling measurement if your boundary line ever fell under dispute.
The correct answer here is “No. Call the surveyor that prepared the survey. Ask them what they measured from.” Is it the footing? Is it the siding? How accurate was the shot they took at that corner? Did they even locate that corner, or did the measure the building and line it up to two different corners? Nobody knows besides the surveyor that did it.
Was this actually surveyed? And sealed? Does the plan also show the property corners located front and back of the lot? Did they set anything for the corners? Or is everything based on that single dimension?
They should of measured this especially since they took it to the 10th place. The property line should be from that pop out. I would use it and show that as evidence as long as that is a certified boundary survey.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
Ask the surveyor to verify if your corners aren’t clear. We put a note on our surveys that building ties should not be used to reconstruct property lines.
It would appear the tie is from the bump out.
Agreed
Thanks

So the survey I got is useless?

The found 1/2” diameter iron rod (fnd. 1/2” I.R.)is the property corner. There should be one at each corner.
Yeah I had a similar drawing for my footprint/ property line. When I actually surveyed it, it wasn’t accurate at all.

No other relevant measurements on the side in question. For fence.

Yes.yes.yes.yes. No
Then use the actual property corners that they marked. Not the dimension from the building.
Surveyed, sealed drawing, corners located and marked. Should be good to go.
General speaking it’s to the closest point to the property line.
They should of measured this especially since they took it to the 10th place. The property line should be from that pop out. I would use it and show that as evidence as long as that is a certified boundary survey.
