Staking out/restoring the boundary

Boundary marking is a geodetic procedure that physically marks the boundary between two or more cadastral parcels on the ground, based on data from official cadastral documentation or agreement between the parties.

Staking out the boundary allows land owners to know exactly where their real boundaries are and, if they wish, to mark them visibly in space (with stakes, markers, fence).

In addition to rights, ownership of real estate also brings with it certain obligations. The owner of real estate, or land, is expected to know where the boundaries of his plot are. If he does not know, he can ask a geodetic expert to show him in the field where the boundary lines of his plot pass.

Boundary staking or boundary restoration is the process of transferring the position of boundary lines based on cadastral data or data collected in the field. It is necessary to involve the holders of rights to neighboring plots in this process.

Staking out is important when selling or buying land because of frequent cases in which a buyer purchases land of a certain square footage, and after surveying it is found that the situation on the ground is completely different.

In the process of negotiating the purchase, it is important to ask the seller to show the boundaries and, if possible, to mark them with permanent signs, and then involve a surveyor to check whether the shown boundaries match the cadastral records when it comes to the shape and surface area of ​​the plot.
