Title 4733 - State Board of Registration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors
Chapter 4733-37 - Standards for Boundary Surveys
Section 4733-37-03 - Monumentation
Current through all regulations passed and filed through December 16, 2024
(A) The surveyor shall set boundary monuments so that, upon completion of the survey, each corner of the property and each referenced control station will be physically monumented. Multiple monuments representing a corner should be avoided.
(B) When it is impossible or impracticable to set a boundary monument on a corner, such as within a tree or building, where underground utilities are present or in deep water, etc., the surveyor shall set a reference monument, similar in character to the boundary monument and preferably along one of the property lines which intersect at that corner. When such a reference monument is used, it shall be clearly identified as a reference monument on the plat of the property and in any new deed description which may be written for the property.
(C) Every boundary monument and/or reference monument set by the surveyor shall, when practicable:
(D) When a case arises, due to physical obstructions such as pavements, large rocks, large roots, utility cables, etc., so that neither a boundary monument nor a reference monument can be practicably set in accordance with paragraph (C) of this rule, then alternative monumentation, which is essentially as durable and identifiable (e.g., chiseled "X" in concrete, drill hole, nail, spike, etc.) shall be established for the particular situation. When such an alternative monument is used, it shall be clearly identified on the plat of the property and in any new deed description which may be written for the property.
