What must be stated on the Survey Map regarding compliance?

The requirement for stating adherence to the Tennessee Minimum Standards of Practice on the Survey Map is crucial because these standards provide a framework for the competency and reliability of surveys conducted within the state. By ensuring that the survey complies with these established standards, it promotes professionalism and accuracy in the surveying process, ultimately protecting the interests of clients, landowners, and the public.

The Tennessee Minimum Standards of Practice lay out specific guidelines that must be followed in various aspects of surveying, including measurement techniques, boundary determination, and the presentation of findings. Compliance indicates that the surveyor has engaged in thorough and precise methods aligned with state law.

While compliance with local zoning regulations is important for land use and development, it is not a requirement specifically stated on the Survey Map itself. Verification by third-party surveyors may enhance the trustworthiness of a survey, but third-party verification is not a mandated inclusion on the Survey Map. Legal approval from local authorities is also separate from the survey’s adherence to the established standards and pertains more to regulatory permissions rather than the technical aspects of the survey.
