The best way to look to see if they had a recent survey done would be to ask to see the survey report or to ask to see an updated RPR (Real Property Report) from them. If you have your own RPR, you can look off the this and see where the property line is off of your own home and measure it out too... Hope that helps! Jared Hey Crystal,

They keep saying they had a surveyor out, but have not been able to provide any documents and cannot remember where the markers are. I recently saw some spray paint on the sidewalk and my boyfriend said that it is a marker showing the property line. I am not completely convinced. Is there any way to see if they actually did have their land surveyed? Would the surveyors have marked the line with spray paint? I am thinking of getting a surveyor myself, but I would rather not spend that kind of money to find out they are right.

But my company (Lovse survey) said it would be another $100 to get the city compliance, without which it is not valid. There are so many hidden costs, that one needs to be careful. Hope it helps Well it does cost $430 to go to the original survey company.

This is much more cost effective as it typically runs around $400 for this. If you don't have one at all, you can find a survey company and order one through them. A brand new one typically runs about $600. If you have an old RPR, you can actually call the survey company at the bottom right hand corner of your RPR and they will re-issue you a new one.

On your blog about RPR's, the third paragraph talks about the city issues a encroachment agreement or relaxation permit for a fee. of $50 to $525. I am trying to clarify the best way to have an encroachment agreement set up between me and my neighbour. Please help. ------------------------------ Here is Sandra Tillier's Response: The issue of encroachments between neighbours is different than an encroachment with the City of Calgary. Encroachment Agreements can be done between neighbours though and if they want to ensure the Encroachment Agreement is respected by successors in title, that agreement can even be registered on each neighbour’s title. The City of Calgary will not provide an Encroachment Agreement for issues between neighbours, only against encroachments involving the City of Calgary’s property. In cases with issues between neighbours that needs to be addressed a law office can assist in preparing and registering an Encroachment Agreement for the neighbours which reflects the understanding between them as to the responsibility for the encroachment, both present as well as into the future. A lawyer should provide an opinion in these cases to ensure interests are properly protected with these type of agreements. ------------------------------- Cheers, Jared C.
