...mean to you and is the cost reasonable for that.
Realtor foisted upon a friend who's selling a house for a departed individual.
Curious of people's thoughts.

Depends tremendously on that particular subdivision.
If someone agreed to do it for that, let them.?ÿ They probably know how to make money on the job.
I could do it in a specific subdivision if I was hungry.?ÿ Or if it was for a very good friend.?ÿ The truth is, for the subdivision I am thinking of, we would be onsite less than an hour.?ÿ I already know where all the control is located
Thanks for the response.?ÿ
But what do the words " set corners" mean?ÿ to you as they are written?

To smash boundary marks into the ground.
IE bang iron rods (US)?ÿ or wooden pegs (NZ)?ÿ into the ground at each boundary corner
As New Zealand is a 'recording state' we would also have to lodge a plan of what had been done
"Set" on an invoice suggests the surveyor did, in fact, set monuments of some sort at the property corners.?ÿ They could have been removed later that same day by someone who did not agree with their location, however.
We searched for a center section corner that was set in January of this year.?ÿ The reference items are still present but there in no monument.
Precisely what I?ÿ was pointing at, the details as listed on an invoice.
The replatting is weird, because no easements, boundaries, ROW, etc.. have changed since this property was purchased and the got developed with a house and workshop 12 years ago,?ÿ so the words raised some inquisitive ideas.
Thanks for your responses?ÿ you too Kiwi Hub pounder!

To me, the invoice is self explanatory, unless you are unnecessarily trying to read something else into it. If I were the buyers I would "foist" the invoice back to the realtor and let him/her/it pay it if they want a sale.?ÿ
@flga-2-2?ÿ
Understood.?ÿ
Step out of the surveyor mind and step Into the non surveyor mind and does it mean anything else different?
Again, just curious.
This may be referring to a replat of the subdivision that was completed at some time in the past and Lot 38 of that replat, not the original subdivision.
"I went to my kitchen and made lunch".
What does that statement mean?
I've never encountered a client that would think twice about paying an invoice worded the way the one above is.?ÿ
Are these people upset about the invoice?
?ÿ
I don't know that I'd consider setting pins for such little money.?ÿ Maybe if I was feeling exceptionally generous and I had control in the area...?ÿ Probably not though because even if I spent 1 hour in the field I'd spend 2-3 hours in the office and at the recorder's office and break even at best.
The recording fee in my county is well over $400.?ÿ That does not leave much to set pins and draft even if you did the plat last week and the job is next door to the office.?ÿ But the realtors are going to get their 6%.?ÿ
The only thing that bothers me is the tax. There is not a tax on professional services that I am aware of. Perhaps this jurisdiction is different.
Step out of the surveyor mind and step Into the non surveyor mind
That's impossible for me. Registered 1978 in Fl and 1981 in GA. ?????ÿ
Not licensed but I'd take that as "set corners for lot 3B in the replat of that subdivision"...
That being said, the fee seems lacking for what that could entail so I'd be weary of accepting the work.

They pulled that stunt in Florida in the '80's. Newly elected Gov. Martinez instituted a sales tax on professional services. It went over like a lead balloon. He was booted out after one term. ?????ÿ
I don't know that I'd consider setting pins for such little money.
Pretty much the going rate in Oklahoma - and I think in most of the midwest.?ÿ Nothing more than a sketch for mapping, if that.?ÿ
Get the plat and maybe the tax map. Precalc the plat dimensions. Jump on centerline monuments and ray in the corners.?ÿ If you are really conscienscious you will check the stake out spot with the pin finder before setting to avoid pin cushioning. But sometimes you are too rushed for that because you have 2 more to get done today.?ÿ
It would be nice if it worked out that way.?ÿ Knowing my luck there would be trees, fences, brush piles, and dogs obstructing every single corner.?ÿ With the mention of a replat the office side might not be as simple as it looks.
I couldn't imagine not even sniffing for other pins before setting new ones.?ÿ That takes, what, less than a minute per corner??ÿ If you're in that big of a rush I'd suggest raising your rate.?ÿ ?????ÿ

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Raise rates? Sure. But there is only so much the market will bear. Property values are low so adjust your expectations.?ÿ

All of that.?ÿ And adjoined. And a river Front too, which abuts the Navajo Nation even. 5.444 ACRES. And covenants?ÿ too.
Yeah.?ÿ Pretty complex actually and has two engineered septic systems and water rights ditch rights and riverine rights.

Hell?ÿ I'm amazed that they can even consider it for less than a good double grand.
