Hey...

Quit being so sensitive, you're bigger than Rhode Island and Delaware combined.
I had the opportunity to submit a proposal on a property that was in both PA and WV. In the proposal they required a dual licensee (this was a fed job). Unfortunately for me, the due date for the proposal fell almost exactly one week before I received work from WV that I had passed my surveying test and was a licensed surveyor. But I do know of a few properties that cross state lines and county lines. It is much more common in this area for properties to cross township lines. But in PA, townships are not laid out the same as they are in the PLSS states.
I often survey in Berkeley Co. W.V., and have seen overlapping property several times. Where did you find a definitive plat or monuments for the State line? I have not seen any info. in the Berkeley Co. courthouse records. I have seen "monuments", but they look like the markers the DOH dumps off the back of a pickup truck where the pavement changes colors; not necessarily accurate monuments.
Stephen, calm down
Stephen,
Did you not see the "we" in my message? That means I included myself.
After contacting the NC BOR I was dissuaded from doing the survey. The biggest red flag was the fact that this plat is recorded both in Mecklenburg County, NC and Lancaster County, SC. The take from the NC BOR seemed to be that if you have to go across State lines for record information, you should be licensed in that State to do any further work. I have an email in to the SC BOR, and I get the feeling that they are going to say the same thing.
Thanks for your thoughts.
Common sense (if such a thing exists) would say that NC where you are licensed should have no reason to object. Where you get information should not be a part of the issue.
Whether SC, if you are not licensed there, lets you do it or not is the question, and I would be surprised if they would.
I have done a few parcels which straddle the New Jersey New York state line. I am licensed in both states so it has never been an issue for me.
You have to remember in the Colonial States settlement and land grants sometimes preceded State boundaries. The current border between New Jersey and New York was not fixed by King George until 1773, while the area was well settled by the mid 1680's. The Ramapo Tract (created in 1709), which I live in, was originally located completely in New Jersey. It is now located in Bergen County, New Jersey and Rockland County, New York.

You shouldn't be jealous of Texas. 🙂
Those of us in the western states need to remember that many of the properties in the original 13 were the results of grants from the sovereign (King) long before there were states. I expect that this situation is not unique along the state lines of the original 13, and probably happens (but probably to a much lesser extent) in western states occasionally as well.
JB,
Whoever does the survey how would they locate, by dimension, the 15’ CMUD Sanitary Sewer Easement? Just curious! The plat just shows it graphically sans dimensions.
Have a great week! 🙂
That is one problem that we don't have in the Virgin Islands
I would have a big enough problem trying to imagine a subdivision being in two different counties thus requiring signatures from twice as many officials and regulating committees. This should be handled as two separate subdivisions.
The subdivision JB is working in should have been handled as two subdivisions as well.
Finally got the plat to be visible. That is extremely bizarre. I see that the signing surveyor only provided his NC license number and stamp, yet his title box indicates he is licensed in SC as well.
We typically locate the manholes.
Otherwise the location as shown as "approximate".
I understand that the plat is also filed in Lancaster County, SC. I assume that plat would bear his SC stamp.
I have surveyed lots that crossed state lines, and designed, by force, one that had extensive roads and lots in two states. No real problem. I am licensed in three states. You just have to survey it to the standards of both, put both certifications or it, and stamp it with both seals. You probably do need to refer it to someone licensed in both states or make it a joint venture with another surveyor.

You resemble that remark Joe?:hi5:
Was The Recorded Plat By A Multi-State Licensee?
> Paul in PA
Mr. White is licensed in Both North & South Carolina. No. 2646 in NC and No. 9325 in SC, though he apparently thought that his NC license was sufficient as the majority of the subdivision is in NC and is recorded there. That leaves the possibility that there is a companion plat recorded in the correct county in SC with his SC registration on it.
> Never had this happen before.
> Guy calls and needs a survey. I do some research and find the his end of the subdivision extends into South Carolina. The rear quarter or so of his lot is in SC.
> I am not licensed in SC and I don't think I can survey this for him. Would I be correct in advising him to find a NC/SC Surveyor?
JB,
The recording surveyor is licensed in both states. Is there a companion plat recorded in the correct county in SC with his SC registration/seal on it?
