Mo. Code Regs. tit. 20 § 2030-16.010

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 18, September 16, 2024

Section 20 CSR 2030-16.010 - Application of Standards

PURPOSE: This rule is being amended to reflect modern day practice and terminology.

PURPOSE: These standards provide the professional land surveyor and recipient of boundary surveys with a realistic guideline for adequate survey performance. This rule describes the types of surveys to which these standards apply.

The standards in this chapter apply to all property boundary surveys made for determining the location of land boundaries and land boundary corners, but do not apply to preliminary plats or plans, plot plans, design surveys; geodetic surveys; or cartographic surveys. Any individual or corporation licensed with the board to perform land surveying services in this state shall be familiar with and comply with these standards. The Missouri Standards for Property Boundary Surveys are not intended to be used in place of professional land surveying judgment. There may be special circumstances and conditions that make it impractical to comply with some provisions of the standards. If the survey deviates from these standards, this deviation shall be noted, described, and justified on the plat of survey by the professional land surveyor. This provision cannot be used to intentionally circumvent the basic tenets of these standards.
