Surveys  \nARIZONA BOUNDARY SURVEY—any one or more of the following:  \n(a) The marking of boundaries, the setting of monuments, or the restoration or rehabilitation of any monument marking a corner or line that controls real property.  \n(b) The determination of the location on the ground, of any appurtenance which may potentially affect the rights and/or the enjoyment of real property.  \n(c) The determination of the position of any monument, reference point, or any other mark, when such monument or mark controls the location of boundaries or rights of ownership in real property.  \n(d) The presentation of any type of survey drawings, maps or plats, and/or reports-ofsurvey or any other documents as related to land boundary surveying, for the purpose of identifying the location of real property.  \nTOPOGRAPHIC SURVEY: A map of a survey showing topographic features such as buildings, fences, etc. , and usually elevations or contour lines. These items can be client specified or surveyor recommended.  \nA.L.T.A. SURVEY: A survey for the purpose of supplying a title company or lender with data necessary for the issuing of extended title and/ or mortgage insurance. This data pertains to physical improvements, encumbrances and any encroachments observed during this survey. A detailed map is required based on the negotiated scope of services as described in the “Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys”.  \nDated February 2016  \nSurveyor—Client Relations  \nAs a member of a professional team consisting of Realtors, Attorneys , Title Companies , Surveyors , Architects, and Engineers, the Land Surveyor renders a highly technical and complex service.  \nIn cases of controversy, a land surveyor may appear in Court as your expert witness if necessary. No one other than a land surveyor can assume responsibility for the correctness and accuracy of his or her work.  \nRegistered Land Surveyors are the only professionals that show you your boundaries.  \nA Registered Land Surveyor is duly licensed by law to practice land surveying and holds above all other things the correctness and accuracy of his or her work.  \nRecording Of A Survey  \nA land surveyor shall file a record of land survey not later than ninety days after its completion, with the County Recorder of the County where the landis located, whenever any of the following conditions are encountered:  \nA. Any land boundary survey monument found, and incorporated into the new survey, where that monument is not referred to in or by any previously recorded public record instrument.  \nB. Any existing land boundary monument, or found monument, referenced in a previously recorded public document, when the public document fails to adequately identify said monuments.  \nC. Any land boundary monuments are set in conjunction with the new survey.  \nD. Any new land division as defined under state statutes.  \nE. Any difference as measured between the land boundary or property corner monuments, where the new measured distance, as compared to a previously determined (“record”) distance, where such difference exceeds +/- 0.25 feet, plus 100 parts per million (PPM), of the overall distance between the points.  \nThese standards were enacted to protect the pub-  \n“How To Consult A Land Surveyor ”  \nPublished and Distributed as a Public Service by  \nARIZONA PROFESSIONAL LAND SURVEYORS  \nThis brochure is furnished in the interest of public awareness.  \nArizona Professional Land Surveyors  \n[info@AzPLS.org](info@AzPLS.org)[ ](info@AzPLS.org)[T: 888.994.3317](T: 888.994.3317)  \nHow Much WillA Land Surveyor Cost?  \nIn general, you should choose your Surveyor using more care than the “low-bid”  \napproach.  \nMore land boundary disputes arise from these three causes than anything else.  \n1. Failure to research the records sufficiently to discover all of the recorded facts.  \n2. Failure to search long enough and thoroughly enough to discover the correct original position of monuments called for.","cbCaikawo0aco9NB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikawo0aco9NB","pdf",489890,"English","# Definitions of Surveys\n## Topographic Survey\n## A.L.T.A.
