What Does a Cadastral Surveyor Do?

A cadastral surveyor accurately measures and maps property boundaries and parcels of land to establish legal land ownership. Their primary responsibilities include conducting detailed field surveys to determine exact land limits, preparing legal documents like plans and maps that detail property boundaries, and registering these documents with relevant authorities.

Cadastral surveyors also play a crucial role in land development and planning processes, ensuring land divisions comply with local regulations and land use laws. Additionally, they often provide expert testimony in legal disputes regarding land boundaries and ownership. Their responsibilities include the following:

• Boundary Surveys: Determining the exact boundaries of a property based on historical records and physical markers.
• Subdivision Surveys: Dividing land into smaller parcels for development or sale.
• Topographical Surveys: Mapping the land's contours, elevations, and features, aiding in project planning.
