From catastro just get a plate Map of your area that should help you locate your lot, yes they use coordinate points. Survey is (Alineation) Your
property was surveyed, it has to be to get a fidocomiso.

Sounds like a God and Mister Gomez moment to me.
You should read the book. It helps to give you some perspective. k

I realize that fideicomiso has the "correct" description on it but if someone else thinks they have your lot and puts something on it it could take a
court battle to decide who is right. Ask someone down there to take your legal description page to a surveyor and have them put in corner posts with
the Lon. & Lat. on each. Just may save you a head ache later. Good luck!

You need to fence the property.
I would do it, pronto!

every county and most towns have a city engineer and plot plans with the lot numbers. find that person and pay him a few pesos to mark your corners. I
hope he is better than the one we have here.

I think you have to go to catastro here in La Paz and ask for Alineamiento, Catastro is where you pay your taxes, on Collosio across from Sorianas.

told him my lot is 2 lots to the north. Then the architect's topo guys are out there doing their topo thing and someone comes up and says hey that's
my lot. Now wouldn't the topo guys have the right lon/lat coordinates or do they go by where I told them? So you see this is very much a 'Mr Gomez'
moment or moments.   |
I hope that someone else didn't put up a fence surrounding your property. I've seen this used as a scam by those familiar with
Mexican law. Once the fence is up it could take a court order for you to either remove it or even enter the property. I hope that this is just an
honest mistake. Stay on top of this!

Hi Bruce,
I've seen the plot plan and the lot number and have a fairly good idea where our parcela is. I think to confirm without a shadow of a doubt though I
need to get the actual lon/lat coordinates, mark them on property and put up a fence pronto. Do you think the city engineer would have the lon/lat
coordinates?
thanks pacside |
he might . it depends on how old the survey is and what equipment they used. I know the newer ones here do have it.

Woa-- if you have the equipment (and knowledge) to determine coordinates with enough precision to start laying fence, you don't need a surveyor.

But you might want one for his legal standing as a surveyor and certification.

Ignore some of these guys warped sense of humor! I agree with Comitan, to the best of my knowledge, you'll have to come to Catastro in La Paz to
obtain a copy of the official survey. Bring either your fideicomiso, or a copy of your paid tax receipt so they can pinpoint the right survey
document. There is a slim possibility that the realtor (or whoever did your closing & fideicomiso processing) has a copy & the Notario
definitely has to have a copy. If I were you, I'd move fast on this! Did you buy this land/lot sight unseen? Did you take any pics of the land when
you decided to buy it? Were there no significant cardons or trees on the property to help you identify it? Although at this point, it sounds like
you do need to get your hands on the official survey in case it is your land being fenced by some other confused buyer!

the notion
that one can take a $300 gps and do survey work ,locate property corners, and place fences is "misguided"at best ,to use a charitablle term
