Boundary Survey in Kansas City, MO
Boundary Survey in Kansas City
In Kansas City, Missouri, many lot lines date back to additions platted more than a century ago. In places like Hyde Park, Volker or the older blocks off Troost, houses sit close together, alleys and shared driveways are common, and the original survey stakes may be long gone. A boundary survey has a licensed surveyor re-trace your legal description, search for existing monuments and set new corner markers where they are missing.
In the Northland the challenge is different: rural tracts in Clay and Platte Counties are being divided into new lots, and boundaries must be confirmed before roads and homes go in. Wherever your property sits, Survey Coordinator matches you with a licensed surveyor in our network who handles boundary survey work in Kansas City and knows the right county records to search.

Boundary Survey questions in Kansas City
My neighbour's fence in Kansas City, MO looks like it's on my land. What should I do?
Start with a boundary survey so you know where the legal line actually is. The surveyor will mark the corners and show the fence on a drawing. Many neighbours settle the question once they see the survey; if not, it gives you and any attorney a clear starting point.
Are boundary surveys handled differently in Clay or Platte County than in Jackson County?
The Missouri standards that licensed surveyors follow are the same statewide. What changes is where the deeds, plats and older surveys are recorded, so a surveyor working a Northland lot researches the Clay or Platte County Recorder of Deeds instead of Jackson County's.
What affects the price of a boundary survey in Kansas City?
Lot size and shape, the amount of records research, whether old monuments can be found, and terrain or tree cover all play a part. The surveyor looks at your property and gives you a quote before starting.
