What Do Property Pins Mean

A PIN (Property Index Number) is a 14 digit numerical code for the legal description of a piece of land as it has been defined for the purposes of real estate taxation.

Are property pins metal?

Property pins (also called property markers or survey stakes) are iron rods that are hammered in the ground by the original surveyors of your land. They mark each corner of your property.

Can a neighbor remove survey stakes?

Your neighbor can’t move the survey stakes. And if your neighbor decides that he wants to put his driveway on your property, your neighbor is going to be buying himself a lawsuit. You’re going to be entitled to have him dig up his driveway, repair your property, a whole host of things.
