What is a Metes and Bounds survey - correct answerA system or method of describing
land from English Common Law that uses physical features of the local geography,
along with directions and distances, to define and describe the boundaries of a parcel of
land. The boundaries are described in a running prose style, working around the parcel
in sequence, from a point of beginning, returning back to the same point. (The term
"metes" refers to a boundary defined by the measurement of each straight run, specified
by a distance between the terminal points, and an orientation or direction. A direction

existing building.)
