How Long Is Your Survey Good For? Shelly from Cardinal Surveying breaks it down. Title companies vary; some accept surveys that are 7 years old, while others won’t take one that’s 6 months old. Why? Because things change! We recently resurveyed a property, and less than two years later, the survey showed new landscaping, new structures, and even a neighbor’s driveway poured over the property line. A current survey ensures you genuinely know what you own! Watch now.
