Where to go to find out where your property lines are so that you can install fencing in fairfax county,va?

we moved into a new house in springfield, va and we are trying to put a fence in the front yard and we are trying to find out where our property line is so we don%26#039;t go into our neighbor%26#039;s property... this is also what the fencing guy told us to do. p.s. there is no Homeowners Association.|||You should have received a copy of your survey, also known as a house location plat, at the time you settled on your home. If so, it will be with your settlement papers. If not, call the settlement attorney or agency where the settlement took place and request one.


Otherwise, you will have to hire a surveyor to do the work. But it is a requirement that you be provided a survey when you buy a property in Virginia. |||You have to hire a land survey company. It is pricey, but is the only way to be absolutely sure where your property line begins and your neighbors ends. If you don%26#039;t get one, and measure the land yourself, and you are wrong, and put the fence on their property, (even an inch) you could be made to take it down. Be safe and hire an expert. Price may be between $500 to $1,000 depending on the size of your lot.|||You can either go to the Recorder of Deeds office to get a copy of your plat, or you can go to the County Assessors department to get the boundary lines.


The plat at the Recorder%26#039;s office will also show utility easements and building set back lines at the time of plat, but nothing newer than that.|||http://icare.fairfaxcounty.gov/Search/Ge...
