IB - Intersection Requirements for Survey Plans

You can't just draw a line across a map; you have to tie it down. This episode illuminates the strict rules for intersecting existing boundary lines. We explore how to prevent the creation of "gores" (unintentional gaps) and overlaps when surveying new parcels. Key Study Points: The Tie-In Rule: When crossing an existing boundary, what level of search and measurement is required? Gaps and Overlaps: The legal liability of creating a sliver of un-owned or dually-owned land. The Exam Trap: Failing to search for and tie to the monuments of the intersecting parent parcel boundary.
