Too many govt bureaucrats at all levels are petty tyrants. An acquaintance said of such folks: “If they had gunpowder for brains they couldn’t blow their own hats off.”
That is effectively what I do with plats. They want a signed version submitted for review. But there is also a surveyor’s certificate. I sign my stamp, but not the certificate until it is approved.
-All thoughts my own, except my typos and when I am wrong.@dmyhill That’s exactly how things were done until this particular county decided they didn’t like that method.
Freedom is just another word for nothing left to loseInteresting. Unless you find a client willing to sue them to do the right thing, I think you either have to forgo work in that county or just grin and bear it.

I know I’m a Luddite but well prepared original maps can last for centuries so why not insist that physical maps be recorded/filed as originals?
