Need Info
Posted by 82316307 on July 5, 2023 at 4:16 pmFor you WestFed guys out there, I would like to know when your Survey Recording Act was enacted and the Code that enacted it.
I have California-1891 and Washington-1973. I just need the other 11.
Thanks in advance.

Oregon’s recording law (ORS 209.250) preexisted the codification of state law in 1953.
The notes accompanying that codification mention acts from 1933, 1947, and 1949 as source material. I have been unable to retrieve these acts online.

Is this a homework assignment?

@bstrand Spot on. It is common to see surveys recorded much earlier in some counties.
Well, plats of subdvisions are surveys. I am trying to think about around Washington. Lots of survey data in various records before 1973, of course, I remember seeing a few on 8-1/2 x 11.
The old surveyors had stories about being there early to get to have Volume 1 of Surveys, Page 1.Â

@dmyhill All subdivisions are surveys, but not all surveys are subdivisions. Idaho code 50-13 was passed in 1967, and was specific to subdivisions. Our survey recording act was passed during the ‘great awakening’ of our profession in 1978.

Our survey records go back to becoming a State. The licensing of Land Surveyors didn’t happen until somewhere in the 1950s. Any “demand” for recordation came later than that. The requirement for section corner records was in 1970 something, I think. Current requirements only expect recordation of surveys showing new descriptions and subdivisions.

Montana’s subdivision and platting act was first codified in 1973. Â

Nah, I haven’t done homework in 65 years. This is research for The Evergreen State Surveyor magazine.
LOL, well, I never did do homework…thus a surveyor and not an engineer 😉
All subdivisions are surveys,
That is supposed to be the case, but it appears many used to be done on a desk far away.
