CaliforniaCalifornia law directs survey records to county surveyors
California law directs county surveyors to handle certain survey records and check corner monuments for identification and tagging.
What it does
When a record of survey does not meet requirements, the county surveyor must return it to the licensed land surveyor or civil engineer who submitted it, with a written list of needed changes.
People authorized to practice land surveying must file corner records with the county surveyor; the county engineer is no longer listed as a filing option.
County surveyors must examine corner records and check that monuments meet identification and tagging rules. The county engineer is removed as an examiner.
Argument forChecking monument identification and tags could help county surveyors catch incomplete corner records before filing them.
Argument againstCounty surveyors may need more time to check corner records, including monument markings, which could add to their workload.
