Interesting note on plat
This was near Hot Springs.
??in case of errors of survey, liability is limited to the cost of survey?.
This was on his rubber stamp. Every plat got it, going out the door. He was doing 5 to 10 surveys a day. Stepping things off. Hang a bit of flagging. Draw up the existing deed. Sketch the house. Never a problem. He earned 2-400 k per year. Several helpers. He finally passed away. It??s an odd form of cynicism. Title companies loved him. No serious surveying, of course. But it greased the real estate wheels for a long time. It hurt The title companies when he went out. He had a rolo tape, and a compass.
Did he try to do it right, but then give up?
Now a days, the title companies have to wait on rip off surveyors, trying to survey with actual equipment.I mean, a 20 acre subdivision, into 10 pieces used to cost 500$. With a road down the middle. 660??x1320??. Nothin to it, right?
Do you have a surveyor in your area, charging 1/3 of what he should, or 10% of what he should, and essentially getting a ??free ride? on the backs of actual surveyors?
When criminal activity is setting standards, it??s hard to compete.
Thank you,Nate
