If you need to hire a land surveyor, one may be found on the California Land Surveyors  Association’s (CLSA) ‘find a surveyor’ webpage. When deciding to have your land surveyed, the professional land surveyor is required to survey your boundary, set missing monuments, and record or file a document with the County Surveyor, such as a Corner Record, Record of Survey, Final Map or Parcel Map.  \nCan you recommend a private land surveyor to survey my property?  \nThe City cannot recommend one surveyor over another. Professional Land Surveyors are licensed by the State Board of Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors and Geologists and are able to practice anywhere in the state. Most Land Surveyors in private practice are listed on the CLSA’s ‘find a surveyor’ webpage. You may also find a surveyor in your area through the Board of Professional Engineers, Land Surveyors and  Geologists.  \nHow do I locate my property corners?  \nYou will need a copy of the map and/or deed that created your parcel. You may try to interpret it; however, to insure that all monuments are in the proper location you need to contact a Professional Land Surveyor (or Civil Engineer Registered prior to 1982) licensed by the State Board of Registration.  \nHow do I obtain copies of fields notes, record maps, as-built drawings or other City drawings?  \nAll City records are available at the Maps and Records Section of the City’s Development Services  Department. To make an appointment to view the records, please call 619-446-5300.  \nWhat is a survey monument?  \nIn surveying, monuments are defined as physical objects on or in the ground, which establish the location of boundary lines, and are often referred to as “property markers.” Monuments come in many forms and  \n@CITYOFSANDIEGO   \nsizes, ranging from a small tack set in a lead plug in concrete, a nail and brass disc set in concrete within an iron pipe of various diameters, a large house-sized boulder, a 200-year-old Douglas fir tree, the center of a river, or even the crest of a mountain range. Monuments can be natural or manmade. Visit the CLSA  website for some examples.  \nThe City fixed my sidewalk and now my survey monument is missing. How do I have my survey monument reset?  \nPlease call or email the Survey Monuments Supervisor and they will look into the matter and have your survey monument reset if the City is found to be responsible.  \nI need to have the monuments inspected for my map so I can get the delayed monumentation bond released. What do I need to do?  \nContact the professional land surveyor who prepared and signed your map. They will need to set all the monuments or release their obligation to another surveyor through a letter to the City Land Surveyor. Once all the monuments are set per the map, the surveyor shall submit two copies of the map, a Certificate of Correction, if applicable, and a letter stating that they have been paid for their services and they release their claim on the surety. The work order number for the map needs to be open to be charged against for the field inspection. Once the Land Survey Section receives the package the monuments will be field verified.
