Who is authorized to sign a Certified Corner Record for surveys performed by a government agency?

A Certified Corner Record is an important document which verifies the location of property boundaries and is critical in land surveying. In the context of surveys performed by government agencies, the Chief of Party is the person who leads and is directly responsible for the survey operations. This individual typically has the training and expertise in surveying standards and practices and can ensure that the survey complies with regulatory requirements.

Given this role, the Chief of Party possesses the necessary authority to sign off on the Certified Corner Record, thereby confirming that the information presented is accurate and completed in accordance with prevailing standards. Their signature signifies accountability for the accuracy of the survey data and the methods employed during the survey process.

The other roles mentioned, such as the Town Clerk, State Surveyor, and Project Manager, while potentially involved in aspects of the surveying process, do not hold the same responsibility or authority in terms of the technical execution and certification of survey results. Therefore, it is the Chief of Party’s specific role and expertise that make them the authorized signatory for a Certified Corner Record conducted by a government agency.
