When you need a survey plan

A survey plan (plano de mensura) may be needed when measurements, areas, boundaries, or changes related to a parcel must be documented.

Common cases

• Subdividing or merging land
• Regularizing area differences
• Preparing documents for a property closing (escritura)
• Resolving doubts about boundaries
• Organizing a property’s records

Not all cases are the same

The type and scope of the plan depend on the property, district (partido), records, and purpose of the procedure.

First step

An inquiry with the location, property deed, property tax account, or previous plan makes it possible to determine whether a survey is needed and which documents to gather.
