Section 646 of the Civil Code governs the boundary: "Every owner may compel his neighbor to the demarcation of their adjacent property. The boundary is cost-shared. "
Only the boundary contradictory performed in the presence of shoreline affected by a surveyor, legal definition and materializes on the ground the boundaries of private property with full safeguards for owners concerned.

A boundary survey is required for:

- Ensuring the boundary of the property,
- Creation of a building plot from the sale agreement,
- The division of land and building already built,
- Construction of buildings near the apparent boundary,
- Building fences, planting trees or shrubs
- The tailgating (prospects).

Principles and methods:

To perform a boundary survey, it is essential to the surveyor, to examine and build on the following:
- Identifying and designating properties are prerequisites for any intervention, whether boundary, division and / or shared ownership

- The search for all contradictory existing boundary, the encrypted information on the position of the boundaries present in the title,

 - The nature of the premises, the limits "natural" (ditches, low slope, wall, fence, ...) resulting mostly from a former use by previous generations, are all assumptions on the definition of property boundaries ,

- The cadastral documents (it is worth recalling that the cadastre is a tax document and can not be considered a title)

 - It's in the discussion phase, with the desire to reach an agreement, that the experience of the surveyor allows parties involved to find a solution.


In case of disagreement between the parties on the proposed limits or when a neighbor refuses to participate in operations of boundary settlement, the owner can only use the legal boundary with the Tribunal de Grande Instance (TGI) to verify its ownership limits.
