How can I obtain a copy of a survey or plot plan for the purpose of submitting a permit application for construction of any type on my property?
In most instances foundation surveys are part of the records kept within the Southaven Building Department for structures constructed in 1997 and after. That applies only if the structure was located within the City of Southaven during that time period. Properties that were annexed into the City of Southaven with existing structures are not included. The jurisdiction that issued the building permit for the structure might have a copy of a survey or plot plan included within their records. The purpose for requiring the survey or plot plan is to verify setbacks, utility or other easements on the property, or any other pertinent information that might affect the ability to construct anything on the property. There are specific separation distances and rules that apply for the various types of structures, swimming pools, fences, etc. that might be proposed.
