Easement & Right-of-Way Surveys

AZGPS provides easement and right-of-way survey services for attorneys, municipalities, utility companies, title companies, and private landowners throughout Arizona. We combine thorough records research with GNSS field verification to document easement locations, widths, conditions, and legal descriptions — producing exhibits and reports that hold up to legal and regulatory scrutiny.

What is an Easement Survey?

An easement survey documents the location, dimensions, and legal basis of an easement or right-of-way affecting a property. This may involve locating an existing easement on the ground, drafting a new easement legal description and exhibit, researching historical access conditions, or verifying compliance with recorded easement terms. Easement surveys are used in real estate transactions, utility projects, municipal road work, legal disputes, and title resolution.

Best For

Easement disputes — locate and document the easement on the ground with licensed evidence. Utility easements — new and existing easements for power, gas, water, sewer, and fiber. Municipal right-of-way — document existing ROW widths, encroachments, and dedication lines. Access easements — prescriptive, express, and implied access for rural and landlocked parcels. Legal exhibits — court-ready exhibits showing easement location relative to property boundaries. Title resolution — clear title encumbrances by documenting vacated or relocated easements.

Our Easement Survey Process

1. Records research — We pull recorded easement documents, plats, ROW maps, and adjoining surveys from county records and state agencies. 2. Field verification — We locate the physical evidence of the easement or ROW on the ground using GNSS survey methods. 3. Analysis — We reconcile the recorded description with field conditions and document any discrepancies or encroachments. 4. Exhibit preparation — We prepare a scaled drawing showing the easement relative to the property boundaries with full legal description. 5. Report delivery — We provide a stamped survey exhibit and supporting documentation for legal or title use.
