Property Survey in Kansas City
A property survey shows your lot lines together with the house, garage, fences, driveway and any easements or encroachments. In Kansas City, Missouri this is especially useful for older homes in Midtown, Waldo and the historic East Side, where detached garages, retaining walls and fences were often built tight to the line long before current setback rules.
Buyers, sellers, title companies and homeowners planning a remodel all request property surveys. If you need a property survey in Kansas City, Survey Coordinator listens to your goal – a closing, a dispute or a permit – and connects you with an independent licensed surveyor who confirms the scope and quotes it before work begins.

Property Survey questions in Kansas City
Should I get a property survey before buying an older house in Kansas City, MO?
It is often worth it. A survey can reveal encroaching garages, fences on the wrong side of the line or easements that limit future additions. Talk with your agent or title company about whether one is required for your purchase.
Will a property survey show where I can build an addition?
A survey shows the boundary and existing structures, and it can show setback lines if you ask for them. The city's planning and development staff decide what setbacks apply, so check with them as well as the surveyor and your designer.
