resurvey

Measure the land again

To resurvey is to survey again—whether measuring land, gathering opinions, or examining conditions.

A property might be resurveyed when boundaries are disputed; a population resurveyed to track changing attitudes: The county resurveyed the parcels after the flood altered the riverbank.

As a noun, a resurvey is such a repeated assessment.
