  1. Will a Land Surveyor tell me where my boundary lines are?
  •  In Oregon, as in most states, only a court of law can decide questions of property ownership. Your land surveyor locates the boundaries of the property on the ground as described in your deed, marking the property corners with physical monuments if none exist, provides a map and documents survey results. this map will be recorded with the County Surveyor in the county in which the property is located. If conflicts exist, your land surveyor will explain why and advise on proper remedies. Only the courts can settle disputes over land ownership.
