Get the property surveyed
1
Posted on 1/20/18 at 2:37 pm to CWS91
The property was just surveyed 4 or 5 years ago, but I don't have access to the survey. I remember seeing stakes and surveyors tape a couple of years ago, but can't locate any of the markers now. The corner I'm most curious about is heavily wooded. I guess I'll just go to the Parish Clerk's office when I get a chance.

Can you borrow a metal detector? Esp. since you rmember seeing the areas that were staked.

I don't know anyone who has a metal detector.
I know where one streetside corner is within a few feet. I distinctly remember seeing a wooden stake w/ a piece of pink tape on it. The adjacent property is vacant and some tree guys were in there taking out some dead pines and clearing brush. The wooden stake may have been a victim to that process.
There's also a utility pole right near that corner w/ a couple of guy wires around it. Even with a metal detector all the guy wore anchors might complicate finding a piece of pipe or rod placed by the surveyor.
Clark's office seems like my best bet for now.

If you need a good and cheap licensed surveyor in St Tammany:
Lester Martin
(985) 285-9099
Sole proprietor, mid 50s and damn good.
Doesn’t do huge or complex parcels.

if there is a note on the property the survey will have been filed.
just out of curiosity assuming you are researching this for purchase...why doesn't the listing agent have the survey?
if you know who did the survey, call their office.
they may let you have a copy or at least give you the lat/lon of the corner

Thanks for the recommendation.

I'm not buying it. The owner is friend of my family and is elderly and lives out of state. I've been trying to keep the place up for her and deal with whatever maintenance issues come up.
I had a guy over Friday to price cutting down a dead tree in a tight location by the power lines. He's lived in the neighbor for 40+ years. It's not that big of a neighborhood, so everybody kind of knows each other's business. I made a comment that a tree had already fallen from the neighbor's property a few months ago and hit the power line. He said "That's yours." I pointed out the stump across the side fence and the dead tree and said, "No, it came from across the fence." He said, "Yeah, but across the fence is part of this property too."
He seemed pretty certain of himself and the area across the fence is about a 40' x 175' fricking jungle. So I'm trying to figure out if that needs to be cleaned up too.
I try not to bother the owner because she's old and doesn't need to deal with this kind of shite. She undoubtedly has a copy of the survey from 5 years ago, but her trying to dig it up and mail it to me would be a project she doesn't need.

cutting down a dead tree in a tight location by the power lines.
Call the power company and explain that the dead tree is going to fall and cause a massive power failure and ask their line maintenance crew to handle the problem.

The tree that fell a few months ago landed on the supply line to the house. It did not knock the power out and I have no idea how long it was on the line. I drove up the driveway one day and saw it. It wasn't really visible from the street. At the low point it was below my eye level. I could not have walked under it without ducking.
I called CLECO and they came right out. They cut it off the line and retensioned the line. One lineman in a bucket truck w/ a chainsaw took less than an hour from soup to nuts.
The tree in question is about 35' to 40' tall and about 10' from the power supply to the house and 20' or 25' from all the streetside utilities (power, phone, cable). I had no idea the utility might do it for free. I'll call them Monday. Thanks for the suggestion.

No one is going to flag your corners except a surveyor. Or get a metal detector and start digging.

Did you try just looking at Google maps? You can zoom in and see property lines, then switch to satellite view and compare. It is not always exact but it is pretty close.
You can do it now, without leaving the house.
