Boundary Survey in St. Louis
City lots in St. Louis were laid out generations ago, and many corner markers vanished under sidewalks, alley paving and rebuilt garages long before the current owners arrived. A boundary survey in St. Louis starts with the deed and the recorded subdivision plat, then the surveyor searches for surviving monuments along the block, measures to them and resets corners where the evidence supports it. On narrow rowhouse lots, the result often settles exactly where a party wall, gangway or back fence belongs.
Vacant parcels add another layer. Lots that sat empty for years, including many held by the Land Reutilization Authority, can have fences and gardens that neighbors extended without much thought to the line. Before you buy one, build on it or fence it, a marked boundary avoids a dispute later. Survey Coordinator collects your address, city block and deed, confirms your price, then schedules a licensed surveyor on our team or in our network.

Boundary Survey questions in St. Louis
Can a boundary survey settle who owns the wall between two St. Louis rowhouses?
A survey shows where the deeded line runs in relation to the wall, which is the factual starting point. Ownership and maintenance of a shared party wall can also depend on old agreements or Missouri law, so take the drawing to an attorney if you and your neighbor still disagree.
Will the surveyor mark the line along my rear alley?
Yes, if you ask for it. The alley is public right-of-way, so knowing where your lot ends is useful before replacing a garage, a fence or a parking pad. Mention the alley work when you send the request so the corners there are set.
