WHAT CAN A SURVEYOR DO FOR ME? Will he or she show me what I own? No, but he will give you his professional opinion of what the records and facts indicate your ownership to be. This opinion is satisfactory in over 99% of the surveys. Only a court of law can determine ownership more decisively than a qualified surveyor. Will he or she aid in subdividing my land? A surveyor is the only one qualified under law to prepare a description for a newly created parcel of land. He or she may prepare an individual description or, if several lots are being created simultaneously, he or she may prepare a legal plat with lot or parcel numbers for recording. Platting rules differ with each county or local planning area. Aqualified surveyor would be familiar with local rules and procedures. Can a land surveyor design streets, water lines, and sewer systems for my subdivision? A surveyor can design streets, sanitary sewers and storm sewers within a subdivision. He will recommend an engineer to design the water supply system and to perform other engineering services that might be required. A professional surveyor will not attempt any aspects of engineering design with which he is not familiar and qualified to perform. Can a land surveyor perform engineering surveys? Most engineering surveys are conducted by land surveyors. They are knowledgeable and equipped to prepare topographic surveys, to supply control for aerial photography, to layout construction projects, to survey right-of-way for power lines and roadways, and so forth.
