What you can do
Prove Your Boundary Against the Next Survey Number
In a boundary dispute the argument is about one line. Put your FMB sheet and your neighbour's side by side, joined at that line, so the record speaks for itself.
Boundary disputes between neighbours almost always come down to a single line — the one your survey number shares with theirs. Each side holds a drawing showing that line from its own perspective, and neither drawing shows both parcels.
Joining the two FMB sheets at the disputed boundary shows what the record itself says about where the line runs, before anyone measures anything on the ground.

When you need this
A neighbour has moved a fence, built a wall, or ploughed past what you believe is the line. You have your FMB; they have theirs; the two drawings are being read against each other across a fence.
The same need arises before litigation, when an advocate is preparing a case, and during an Advocate-Commissioner's inspection, where the commissioner measures the parcels on either side of the line.
What you need first
- The FMB sketch for your survey number and for the neighbouring one. Both are public records — you do not need your neighbour's permission to download theirs.
- Your patta and chitta, to confirm the extent the record credits to you.
- If the sheets are old, the correlation statement linking old and new survey numbers.
How to do it
- 1
Download both FMB sheets
Download the FMB for your survey number and for your neighbour's. Both come from the same public portal.
- 2
Join them at the disputed boundary
Add both sheets to the editor and snap them together along the boundary in question, so the two parcels appear in their true relative position.
- 3
Check that each sheet names the other
The FMB marks the neighbouring survey number along each side. On a correct join, your sheet names theirs across the shared line and theirs names yours.
- 4
Mark the disputed stretch
Highlight the specific stretch of boundary under dispute, so the point at issue is obvious to a reader who has never seen the land.
- 5
Print it for your advocate or the commissioner
Export a print-ready PDF at a size that stays legible when marked up during an inspection.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use a joined map as evidence in court?+
FMB sketches are relied on as supporting evidence in boundary matters, but what carries weight is the official sketch itself — and, where ordered, a survey by a licensed surveyor or an Advocate-Commissioner. A joined map is a way of presenting those official sheets clearly, not a new document with independent standing.
Can I download my neighbour's FMB?+
Yes. FMB sketches are public records available by survey number from the state portal; no consent from the landholder is needed.
The two sheets do not line up. What does that mean?+
Check the scale first — old chain-and-link sheets and modern metric sheets differ. If they still disagree after scaling, the record itself may be inconsistent, which is exactly the kind of finding to take to a licensed surveyor.
