Can I lower my flood insurance premium with a survey? Do I need a survey to buy a house or put up a fence?

On this podcast, Mario Forte from Beginning Point Surveys details what a land surveyor does and how a property owner can benefit from a professional survey. He explains how marking property lines is important for fences and buildings.

Mario explains why online GIS maps sometimes have property lines going through a driveway or part of a building.  He explains why GIS software maps and Google maps are useful for general property information, but are not accurate for establishing precise boundaries.

Additionally, Mario explains some of the tools used by professional surveyors and how a career in surveying has as much to do with computer design as it does with walking along a property line.
