In Reply to: Property lines survey or gps? posted by MN Bob on October 19, 2006 at 06:12:51:

hello,
I'm a Licensed Professional Land Surveyor in the State of Iowa, I also happen to like old farmalls, which explains how I happened across this post. First I like to say that GPS is but one measurement tool used by land surveyors when it is appropriate. However, that certainly doesn't mean anyone with a GPS unit can retrace government lines or make determinations on property lines anymore than owning a scalpel makes you a doctor. Hand held GPS units are no where near accurate enough to determine property boundaries even if the operator did have some schooling about how to recover government land corners, or the rules of section subdivision, or rights gained through possesion, or junior/senior rights or any of the other property rights issues that Licensed Professional Land Surveyors are tested on in order to achieve licensure, and are required to keep up on through continuing education. Hand held GPS may get meter accuracy. The GPS systems we use utilize a rover and a base unit. This is called differential GPS. This type of system yields sub-centimeter accuracies. GPS units that we surveyors use cost thousands of dollars more than the hand helds because they produce the accuracies we are required by state code to achieve. Any non-licensed individuals attempting to determine property lines can and should be turned in to the state board of engineering and land surveying examiners for practicing without a license and might be subject to penalty. A professional surveyor will prepare a plat of his work and file a copy with the county recorder. In addition he will stand behind his work in court if necessary. Using a non-licensed person to determine property lines is a good way to get yourself sued and should that occur you won't have a leg to stand on. Use the professional. Compared to the cost of land these days, accurately determining your property boundaries and the area contained with them may turn out to be a real bargain.

Today's Featured Article - Seeing an Old Friend - by Joe Evans. Dad had a concrete contracting business starting in 1960. One of his first pieces of equipment was a Ferguson TO-35 with a Davis loader. Dad replaced the TO-35 with a MF 202 Workbull, essentially an industrialized Ferguson 35 I am told. Dad bought the 202 new in 1962, and I recall quite clearly going to the dealer with him to sign for it. ... [Read Article]
