Do you need a survey on a platted lot?
Usually not. A recorded plat already fixed the boundaries on paper. The plat says where the line is supposed to be, a survey says where it is, and county GIS lines can sit tens of feet off the deed. One test decides it: is anything about to be built, fenced or argued over. Text LAND to (307) 337-9113 for price drops and new lots.

Almog, do I need a survey on a platted lot? Usually not. A recorded plat already fixed those boundaries on paper. The plat says where the line is supposed to be. A survey says where it is. When is it worth it? Metes and bounds. A fence near the line. Or before you build. County GIS lines can sit tens of feet off the deed. One test: is anything about to be built, fenced or argued over. If not, it can wait.
