Volusia County, Florida Surveyors

Now you've done it, we'll be hearing from the "Recording State" junkies any minute now.

They can keep quiet! 😉 :beer:

We "recording states" have our fair share of "unrecorded" maps, too. Many have made their way to the assessor's office to be copied into the tax records, then either discarded, rolled into a corner, or set on a dusty shelf. Good luck with the search.

Of course, we also have at least a century of surveys that were never recorded as well. That's what taught us our lesson.

Have a great weekend!

For years I had a big roll of Blanton section maps at the large firm where I worked. They were priceless. After I left the new management took them to the dump. I often regret not putting them in the back of my car.

I was doing a Survey a couple of years ago and the Deed description referenced some Map "on file at the Sacramento County Assessor's office" which is really weird; maps are supposed to be filed at the Recorder's office but this one some how wound up at the Assessor. So I called the Assessor and they actually found it and gave me a copy. It helped that the AP map also had a reference to this particular map (which is a subdivision of a Rancho) so I was able to point to that so they knew they had it somewhere, it wasn't some crackpot Surveyor on the line asking them for stuff that they wouldn't have.

And Stahl is correct about unrecorded surveys. We have them; sometimes the County Surveyor has taken in records of retiring surveyors and you can find maps that should have been filed under the Statute but they just weren't.

It's like the speed limit; some people obey it and some don't and those that don't rarely get caught.
