Types of surveys

     SUBDIVISION PLATS--Montana statute requires that creating a tract of land that is less that 160 acres is considered a subdivision and must abide by the Montana Subdivision and Platting Act.
Skyline provides services for all aspects of a Minor Subdivision which is creating 5 or fewer tracts of land. Skyline can provide field survey assistance for Major Subdivisions, creating 6 or more tracts of land.

     EXEMPTION SURVEYS--  Montana statute allows for certain divisions of land to be exempt from the Subdivision and Platting Act.
Skyline provides services for creating tracts of land that qualify as exemption surveys

• BOUNDARY REALIGNMENT SURVEY-- relocating common boundary line between 2 adjacent tracts of land to change tract configurations.
• AGGREGATION SURVEY -- combining 2 or more existing tracts to create only one legal tract of land.
• FAMILY TRANSFER SURVEY -- a division of land to create a single gift or sale to a member of a landowners immediate family.
• COURT ORDER SURVEY -- a division created by order of any court of record in Montana
• AGRICULTURAL EXEMPTION SURVEY -- a division of land to be used for agricultural purposes only.
• MORTGAGE EXEMPTION SURVEY -- a division of land to provide security for a mortgage, lien, or trust indenture.

     LOT RETRACEMENTS/BOUNDARY/PROPERTY SURVEYS:  locating property corners of existing tracts of land, replacing missing/destroyed corner monuments, marking boundary lines for fencing, etc.

     MORTGAGE REPORTS/MORTGAGE INSPECTIONS:  requested by lending institutions or title companies for financing or title insurance. Inspections indicate whether any neighboring structures are encroaching onto the property, and whether the relevant structures, utilities, wells are within the property.  A Mortgage Inspection is not a boundary survey and it is not used to establish property lines, easements, etc. Property corner monuments are not set.

     ELEVATION CERTIFICATES (FEMA SURVEYS)/Letter Of Map Amendment (LOMA):  required by lending institutions to determine the amount of flood insurance for structures/land that is being held with a mortgage.  LOMA is an application generated by a surveyor or engineer to determine if a structure or tract of land is above the base flood elevation

     TOPOGRAHICAL SURVEYS:   detailed mapping of property features such as buildings, ponds, creeks, other drainage features, utilities, ground elevations for multiple uses such as contour maps, landscape design, property development, pond design, architectural building design
