Boundary Adjustment
Boundary Adjustment Survey Services
At Survplanz, we help property owners reshape land boundaries to suit their evolving needs — whether it's to balance land areas between neighbors, resolve boundary conflicts, or make better use of space.
A boundary adjustment is a smart, council-approved way to tweak your property line without the complexity of a full subdivision.
What Is a Boundary Adjustment?
A boundary adjustment is a type of subdivision that alters the legal boundary between two or more existing lots. It often involves:
-
Aligning fences or structures to legal boundaries
-
Correcting historic inaccuracies in boundaries
-
Reallocating land between neighbouring titles
This is common between family members, neighbours, or landowners looking to improve land usability or development potential.
The Boundary Adjustment Process
-
Initial Consultation – We discuss your goals, check feasibility, and explain council requirements.
-
Survey & Scheme Plan – Our team carries out a full survey and prepares a plan showing the adjusted boundary.
-
Resource Consent Application – We lodge the application with council and liaise on your behalf.
-
Final Survey & Title Plan – Once approved, we peg the new boundary on-site and prepare final plans for LINZ.
-
New Titles Issued – Your lawyer arranges the legal title changes and registration.

FAQs
Do I need my neighbour’s agreement?
Yes — because boundary adjustments affect multiple landowners, all affected parties must consent.
Does this count as a subdivision?
Yes, technically. But it’s a simpler, faster form of subdivision that doesn’t create new titles.
How long does it take?
Typically 6–12 weeks, depending on council processing times and complexity.
