he location and marking of property
boundaries (the exclusive responsibility of
licensed Ontario Land Surveyors), is a very
complex and highly specialized activity. It is
critical that boundaries be determined and
marked accurately so that it is clear where
properties begin and end.
Without landowners knowing boundary
locations, buildings could be on property lines,
fences could be in the wrong place, compliance
with zoning setbacks could become a
problem, neighbours could build on the wrong
side of the property line, safety problems could
occur with construction over gas lines or other
utility rights of way, and arguments and/or
costly lawsuits may result from this action.
Land ownership is documented by a deed registered
in the Land Registry Office. The deed contains
or refers to a legal description of the land.
The description is dependant upon the location
on the ground of bars, posts, pins, and other
markers collectively called survey monuments.
The orderly development and transfer of land is
made possible by the continuous replacement of
destroyed survey monuments and setting of new
ones by Ontario Land Surveyors.
What is survey evidence?
new boundary is created every time land
is divided to form a lot, roadway or utility
right of way. The new boundary must be precisely
determined. When a boundary is determined,
an Ontario Land Surveyor typically sets
a survey monument to mark or reference the
exact intersection of property lines. The location
of these monuments is recorded in survey
notes and plans of survey. These monuments
form the new survey evidence.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
