There are new survey markers in the street and on my property, but I didn give anyone permission to come onto my land. Whats going on and whos doing the work?
Surveyors don’t inform us of their upcoming projects, so we won’t have that information until a map is submitted to our office. One of your neighbors may have hired a surveyor to establish their corners. This process involves finding as many existing monuments as possible on nearby properties. A licensed Land Surveyor has the right to enter private property to perform a survey. Although a surveyor should give notice ‘where practicable’, there is no legal requirement that they do this. To find out who is performing the survey you can; 1) Ask one of the field personnel. 2) Ask your neighbors. 3) Find one of the new corner monuments. There should be a yellow plug in any new pipes set with a “RCE” or “LS” number listed. If you call the County Surveyor with this number we will identify the Surveyor for you.
