Having spend most of my years in WA where there is a 0.5' positional limit for replacing subdivision Lot Corners, ie if the controlling founds allow the missing corner(s) to be re-set less than 0.5' of record, no record of survey need be filed.
Lot corners disappear for any number of reasons even in a recent subdivision. What to do in Oregon?

My understanding is that if a monument is missing, whether you replace it or not, that's a substantial departure from the record and an ROS is required. If a monument is present and the measurement differs from the record by 0.5' that's a substantial departure from the record and an ROS is required. http://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=58.09.090&apos ;">RCW28.09.090

If it's a very recent subdivision, as in less than 2 years old, the platting surveyor can replace his own monuments with monuments of the same type without filing. After 2 years, and all others replacing any missing monument or setting a new one must file an ROS. It's the setting of monuments that triggers the ROS requirement in Oregon.
FYI - the vetting process by the County Surveyors in Oregon - especially in the Portland Area - is much more rigorous than any checking that goes on in Washington. Allow significant extra budget for that.
