Relocation Survey in Quezon City
Find and re-mark the exact corners of your titled lot.
What is a relocation survey?
A relocation survey re-establishes the corners of a lot using the technical description on its title. The geodetic engineer measures the boundaries on the ground and sets or re-sets concrete boundary markers (mohon) so you know where your property actually starts and ends.
It is the standard first step before fencing, building, selling, or settling an argument with a neighbor.
When do you need it?
- You are about to build a fence or house and want to be sure of the boundary.
- The old mohon are missing, buried, or look moved.
- You are buying a lot and want to see it matches the title.
- A neighbor says your fence or wall is on their land.
- You inherited a lot and have never seen its corners.
Documents needed
- Copy of the title (TCT), preferably a certified true copy from the Registry of Deeds
- Latest tax declaration and real property tax receipt
- Vicinity map or address and landmarks
- Valid ID of the owner (and an authorization or SPA if a representative is applying)
- Previous survey plan or blueprint, if you have one

Common questions
Is a relocation survey the same as a verification survey?
No. A relocation survey marks the corners on the ground. A verification survey checks whether the title and the lot on the ground actually match. See our guide on the difference.
Do I need one if my lot is already fenced?
Yes, if you are not sure the fence follows the title. Many disputes start with a fence built on assumption. Ang mura ng pag-check bago mag-bakod kumpara sa pagpapagiba.
