My deed is on record. The survey is based on the deed(s)

Yep, me too. But I'm not filing the survey as public record.

And as mentioned earlier, that is dependent on county/city requirements and there is no uniformity in every county/state.

As to the OP's original question, the cost to re-certify a recent survey is minimal and well worth the cost for the piece of mind that accompanies.

Thanks to all of you. The seller survey is probably just 3-4 months old. I will find it out soon.
