Statute overview

About this statute

Private land must be officially measured, and only specified surveyors may do the official measurement. A surveyor in the listed categories must send an approval request to the Governor General through the Provincial Governor and include specified supporting documents. An approved surveyor must take the stated oath, which may be received orally or in writing by the President Judge of the Court of First Instance, and the court clerk must record the oath on the surveyor’s diploma. Official measurements must be recorded in a boundary/measurement report made in the prescribed model, with three signed copies. If property has not yet been officially measured, the owner or the owner’s representative must visibly mark the land boundaries with a temporary boundary marking.
