I am looking to install a fence in the rear of my townhome property. My HOA is requesting a true plot plan/sketch. Where can get I a formal sketch to send to my HOA? Also, can anyone recommend a fencing company in the Durham, NC area?
Thanks
Ask your closing attorney and your buyers agent if either retained a copy of your survey.
Did you buy new construction through a builder? They should have surveyed your finished product, and may have a copy.
You might even have rebar stakes at the corners of the lot, sometimes they are hidden in the grass.
That doesn't help with providing a plat to the HOA. I'm surprised the HOA doesn't have a plat for the whole development. There should be one at wherever the subdivision of the property was recorded.
If you can find the corners will they accept a drawn sketch, maybe on graph paper with measurements?
Google Maps and real estate sites like Zillow show plot info. It's not going to be super accurate but it looks professional enough to give the HOA the idea. The worst that can happen is that it gets rejected and you have to resubmit it.

A plat will show land, but probably won't include structure. OP needs a survey.
Surveys are cheap for the value they give. Have the yard surveyed and the lot lines flagged with little landscape flags while you are at it. Make sure the HOA has the same idea of fence type and height that you need.

Would be a good starting point for those unable to look in the assessor data.
