Certificate of Surveyor

Idaho Code requires that “The professional Land Surveyor making the survey shall certify the correctness of the plat”.

Examples 1 and 2 below were used for subdivision plats.  Example 3 was used for a condominium plat.

Review

·        Is the form correct for the type of plat submitted?  This may be obvious, but do not use a certificate for subdivisions on a condominium plat.

·        Does the Surveyor state in the certificate that they certify the correctness of the plat, and that it is in conformance with Idaho Code?

·        Is the seal and signature original?  The Land Surveyor’s seal can be an electronic seal only under the guidelines of the Idaho Code Title 54 Chapter 12.

·        Did the Surveyor seal and sign all of the sheets of the plat for which he had responsible charge, and are all of the seals and signatures the same on each sheet of the plat?  We are looking for the same name on the stamp here.
