VLB (Veterans Land Board) Survey Services
A VLB Survey is required when veterans apply for land loans through the Texas Veterans Land Board. This survey verifies property boundaries, improvements, and any restrictions to ensure compliance with VLB lending criteria. Alliance Land Surveyors provides prompt, accurate VLB surveys to support your loan process.
Purpose of a VLB Survey
- Confirm legal property boundaries for veteran land loan qualification
- Document existing improvements—homes, barns, fences—for loan underwriting
- Identify easements, rights-of-way, and restrictions affecting title
- Provide lender and title company with certified survey plat and report
Our VLB Survey Process
- Preliminary Research: Review deed, prior surveys, and VLB requirements to scope the work.
- Field Survey: Locate boundary monuments, measure corners, and map improvements using GPS/GNSS and total stations.
- Improvement Inventory: Record all structures and site features as required by the VLB form.
- Easements & Restrictions: Identify and note any recorded easements, rights-of-way, or deed restrictions.
- Plat Preparation: Draft the VLB survey plat with all required annotations—bearings, distances, improvement details, and surveyor certification.
- Quality Check & Delivery: Seal and sign the final plat; deliver digital and print copies to the veteran, lender, and title company.
