According to the article?ÿin Sept/Oct 2018 issue of Empire Surveyor,?ÿNY Governor signed a bill into law that will require every property in the State be retracted within 20 years, to be added to the statewide Registry/GIS database. All paid by a large federal loan, to be recovered from a 120% increase inland transfer fees.
Effective Jan. 1st all land surveyors will be required to show proof of ownership of at least GNSS receivers that are capable of receiving signals from GPS, GLONASS?ÿand GALILEO.
This will be a?ÿhuge increase in workload.?ÿ
How many other states use a registry system.
Here is the article.
Ummm, Lee??ÿ It's a fictional story......
?ÿ
Although I confess it had me dropping my dentures for a minute.
You ruined the punchline. I was hoping this would last a little longer than the first?ÿ reader But wouldn't it be awesome if something like that did happen for surveyors in New York? Are there any other states using a registry?
It would probably be more accurate if the article just said that the State of New York was going to take everyone's land back, then create a rent control board so that those who did not work paid accordingly to their effort versus those who had stolen all they had from the poor paying the most.

Actually NY had a registry system; it wasn't used much.?ÿ Governor signed a bill to?ÿget rid of it?ÿ15-20 years ago:)?ÿ If the second press release is the one, I wonder if his app will include drainage and septic design for that subdivision:)?ÿ
NY Real Property Law - RPP Article 12 Section 436 - Title registration repealed effective year 2000.?ÿWhy? Read through the entire article 12.?ÿ Awful lot of law tied up in title and land boundaries.?ÿ We might get a couple done in 20 years at cost of more than the parcels are worth.?ÿ But some are doing it relatively successfully.?ÿ Certainly worth dreaming about, and a fun article to read.
RPP Article 9 Section 291 - Filing deed gives protection under the Race/Notice procedure.
In your dream, why would multiple constellations be required? NGS still relies only on GPS. And proof of ownership doesn't say it would be carefully used.
Results (physical ties, coordinates, residuals, confidence limits, etc) should be required, not methods.

It is part of the public demand for GPS without understanding that it is a tool with limits and under canopy and roofs and many places where multipath and other disturbances turns it into a useless tool.
They still revel when I show the differrent screens on my TS and tell them it computes the location as it moves to each point and looks at all the other places we locate.
Half of it is our reaction to fiction and fantasy and our approach to reveal the facts to our clients.
Not my dream, but yeah the author missed a point or two, so to speak.?ÿ Thanks for finding those points Bill, I don't have an up to date cell phone.
