What this check answers

A base-map copy reflects the county databases on the day of issue. A map for design purposes is prepared by a licensed surveyor for a specific project.

What to verify

  • Ask the designer which map the application or project requires.
  • Order a base-map copy from the county documentation centre where a copy is sufficient.
  • Commission a licensed surveyor for the design map and agree scope and format in writing.
