How to Get My Property Survey for Hutchinson, Kansas

Hutchinson's City Hall may have a record of your property survey.

A property survey outlines the boundaries of a given piece of real estate. Locations and sizes of existing structures, as well as utility lines and other encumbrances, also are displayed. Property surveys often are required as part of the closing process, when ownership of the property changes hands. Banks and other lenders also may request the survey before giving loans that will use the property as collateral. Owners also can use a survey to help quell any land disputes with neighbors.

Instructions

1. Record the address of the property.

2. Visit the city planning and development department. You can find them at 125 East Avenue B.

3. Request a copy of the property survey for the address you have recorded. Be prepared to pay a nominal fee in order to have a copy made for you.

Tips & Warnings

• In the event that your property survey isn't on record at the town hall, check your closing papers from when you bought the house. The survey is often included.

• Alternatively, you can call the title company that handled the last closing. Title companies often save a copy of the property survey as part of the closing process.
