This session will provide a detailed review of the Missouri Standards for Property Boundary Surveys. The standards are the rules issued by the Missouri Department of Agriculture Office of the State Land Surveyor and the Missouri Board for Architects, Professional Engineers, Professional Land Surveyors, and Landscape Architects and regulate the practice of land surveying in our state. It is vital that all professional land surveyors understand and adhere to the rules in order to provide the “recipient of boundary surveys with a realistic guideline of adequate survey performance” and to protect the surveyor in cases of dispute. This presentation will refresh the PLS and LSIT with a thorough review and will allow the surveyor to evaluate his own performance and responsibility to his client.
