Changes to Land Survey Record Rules
AB-1933 updates rules so that county surveyors, rather than engineers, handle the review and return of non-compliant land survey records and corner reports.
What This Bill Does
- Requires county surveyors to return non-compliant survey records directly to licensed land surveyors or registered civil engineers with a written list of needed changes.
- Expands filing rules so that every licensed civil engineer must file corner records, not just those authorized to practice land surveying.
- Removes the option for professionals to file corner records with county engineers and requires all filings to go through county surveyors instead.
- Updates the review process for corner records to include checks on whether monuments are properly marked or tagged with license numbers.
- States that no state reimbursement is required by this act.
Who It Names or Affects
- Licensed land surveyors
- Registered civil engineers
