Huh!.
"extending your certification"...?
Your original certification runs forever - it has no expiration date.
Huh!.>Ha!
Ha, good one Jim, some people just don't understand the liability a surveyor incurs, even some surveyors!
Now the difference between relying on an old survey, user beware, and asking a surveyor to stamp an old survey with a new stamp and date without an update survey is obvious to all, I hope!

I love my recording states too. Once our maps our recorded they are public record as all surveys that involve setting monumentation should be.

Here is what the Colorado state board says:
pretty much saying that this particular document is 'private'
An Improvement Location Certificate (ILC) is a version of a land examination meant to be used one time, during the sale of a property. It helps the parties in a transaction determine whether the improvements made on a parcel of land contain any boundary intrusions to surrounding properties. If improvements such as fences, garages, or patios, overrun property lines, there could be liability issues. These types of improvements to a property often change, so merely noting them does not necessarily take a full survey. However, it does take the skill of a licensed land surveyor to do it correctly. ILCs are typically ordered by title companies.
A professional land surveyor who prepares an ILC is liable for the information on it but only as it existed on the day it was prepared. It is a description of what is on the property, not an exact description of the property itself. The document is not meant to be a precise permanent record; it is meant for use by a specific client and only that client. However, a person who obtains a copy of the ILC after its initial use has no way of knowing that to be the case.

If there is a private survey that determines the boundary of a client, and that survey is filed in the local government filing office; is it good only on the day that it is filed or is it good forever?
Simple question.

I would say that it is a snapshot of that particular property on the date that it was drawn as far as improvements. The boundary lines should not change (unless there is a later subdivision or add-on). I would say that the survey is good until the statute of limitations runs out. I am looking at it kind of like the warranty on a new vehicle. The vehicle is still driveable after the warranty runs out, but you do so at your own risk. Many customners feel that they have a lifetime warranty on a survey. Boy are they disappointed when they call.
