Surveying and Mapping Act

The Surveying and Mapping Act is a law that regulates how land surveying and mapping are conducted within a jurisdiction. It establishes rules to ensure that land measurements and maps are accurate, reliable, and official. The Act often requires surveyors to be licensed, sets standards for surveying practices, and governs the use and sharing of geographical data. Its purpose is to promote clarity in land boundaries, prevent disputes, and support development, land management, and public safety by ensuring all mapping and surveying activities are consistent and enforceable.
