When I was driving home from work today I noticed a for sale sign for a plot of land that said “+ or – 2.9 Acres.” It had me wondering how they came to that number. Im sure lots of plots of land for sale are sold in squares, but I live in a very old state so property lines must be all over the place.

A surveyor performs a boundary survey, depending on the terrain and coverage, will generally traverse the lot and locate the corners(though these days it seems more prevalent to use gnss than traverse with a total station). Once they have verified the prop lines and corners these days they will toss the file into civil3d, Autocad, Carlson or whatever drafting software and it’ll comp the acreage for them. There is alot more leading up to “just surveying the lot” but this is a very diluted explanation
