Footsteps Surveying

Yes - Legally speaking you must be licensed in order to offer to perfom any kind of survey work in the State of California.  Our principal land surveyor has been involved in offering training for those looking to pass the state and national licensing exams for the past 7 years.

No.  County or City employees cannot undertake private survey work within their jurisdiction.  The conducting of private surveys by the County’s survey crew would constitute unfair and illegal competition with private surveyors doing work in the county.  Refer to the yellow pages under "Surveyors - Land" should you need private survey work performed.

No.  A great many of the parcels of land existing in the county were created before legislation was enacted in 1972 requiring a subdivision final map or a parcel map to create new parcels.  A deed, therefore, may be the only recorded document describing the boundaries of a longstanding parcel.

We can not guarantee that the federal government will do anything and ethically can not take on any project with such a blatant and egregious conflict of interest.  We evaluate each property before beginning work and if there is information available that tells us that you will definitely not meet the criteria to pass then we will let you know and recommend against performing the survey.

Our principal Land Surveyor has been heavily involved with the local chapter of the CLSA.  Recently stepping down after 3 terms as president of the Santa Clara/ San Mateo Chapter and terms as Vice President and Treasurer.
He remains a Committee Chairperson and one of next years Chapter Representatives to the state organization.
