Whats the difference between a survey and a site plan?
A true survey is an engineer-stamped legal document. An engineered survey is typically included in your closing papers. It is an important legal document that should be in your possession. Do not let a mortgage company or builder retain your original survey. When discussing pool construction, don’t leave your original with the pool contractor. Any permitting or planning can be legally done with a photocopy. The survey is the most accurate description of your property.
