RECORDS OF SURVEY —
COUNTY BY COUNTY
C.L.S.A.'s Pr<strong>of</strong>essional Practice
Committee has compiled a report
on the manner in which the various
Counties handle Record <strong>of</strong>
Survey Maps. As can be seen from
the information tabulated below,
there is a wide variety in the ways
that Records <strong>of</strong> Survey are processed
and in fees charged. The
tabulation below gives County by
County responses to the following
questions:
1. Does your local county charge
for checking Record <strong>of</strong> Surveys?
2. If so, how much?
3. Is there a distinction made if
the survey is preliminary to a subdivision?
4. If a Parcel Map is exempt
from Parcel Map Requirements, is
a Record <strong>of</strong> Survey required in lieu
<strong>of</strong> the Parcel Map?
5. Does your local County Surveyor
take an active role in Record
<strong>of</strong> Survey checking to the point
that they give direction to survey
practice and interpretation?
6. How many hours, on the average,
does the local County Surveyor
spend on Map Checking a
Record <strong>of</strong> Survey?
7. Does the local County Surveyor
encourage the use <strong>of</strong> "Corner
Records"?
8. Does the local County Surveyor
discourage "Corner Records"
and require Record <strong>of</strong>
Survey instead <strong>of</strong>?
9. How many Records <strong>of</strong> Survey
are filed in your County?
10. Has the number changed
drastically within the past year?
