For property owners, these survey plans can be likened to a plate number of a car with the file number on the survey showing who the survey plan says own the land, the survey plan shows the extent to which a land owner can lay claim, establish ownership, and embark on various ventures. From building that dream home to acquiring necessary permits for development projects, these survey plans provide the foundation upon which grand visions take shape.

The survey plan becomes a powerful reference point for multiple agencies within the state. Government authorities rely on these plans to verify the size and location of a property claimed to be owned and controlled by an individual. As such, these documents carry immense weight and are the bedrock of evidence in cases of boundary disputes or land-related matters.
