I was told I would need a boundary survey in order to obtain a permit...

without encroaching on the neighboring properties, I'd better know -
without question - where my lot line was.

There are metal stakes about 3/4" X 3/4" X 3 ft long pounded into the
ground (a few inches below grade at most)at lot lines here and originally
there is a white wooden stake at each metal stake as well. The local
city/county/district has available maps that show where these stakes/lot
lines are, complete with measurements. Its usually pretty easy to take a
copy (online) of the sheet out there along with a tape and small shovel and
find "A" stake..doesnt need to be yours..From there, measure away til you
find your own. I've had a copy of the survey for each of the 3 homes I ve
owned over the last 35 years. Its usually done when a house is SOLD or
BUILT and of course, its something you keep.
