I'm not sure if I could force things and have no desire to find out.
Yeah, many such things occur with me as well. But state law is clear about the auditor and recording documents.
I wouldn't mind having additional review for free, so I probably wouldn't say a thing.
There is a guy that occasionally does surveys around here, and he does a great job, but EVERYSINGLE lot corner has RP's listed, which is completely abnormal around here. I asked him about it, and he said that his county requires it.
One county around here insists that the title block be on the bottom, which is not their right to insist on. I follow the rules, however, because I like a good working relationship. One time I did push back because it was done the other way and I simply needed it recorded right then, but we now follow their wishes. If it doesn't cost anything, why not be agreeable?
I believe this is the only county in Washington that does this. I applaud them.
I would love to have an office of County Surveyor in each county responsible for survey records...That would be a great state law.
