[quote=JC]hello! i am probably embarassing myself but what survey map? how does one get a hold of one of those? thank you![/quote]
In our neighborhood there are survey “pins” in the sidewalk on the property line.
Then comes the tricky part… depending on how the lots work. There should be a pin/post/etc on the back corner of the lot… but these can be very hard to find, buried, or removed.
You could hire a survey company. They would establish the corners, and possibly stake out the property line. But that costs $$$. You’d have documentation, though, if a neighbor ever sued you for putting the fence on their side.
Look for a small metal disk in the sidewalk between your house and your neighbors house… that will at least give you an idea of a point on the property line.
