HB 480
SUMMARY OF BILL: Requires the description of real property contained within a deed of
conveyance of a property not previously described in a recorded instrument to be prepared by a
registered land surveyor. Exempts any deed of conveyance prepared by or for a governmental
department or agency from the requirement.
FISCAL IMPACT:
NOT SIGNIFICANT
Assumptions:
• Requiring such deeds to be prepared by a land surveyor will not result in a significant
increase in the number of land surveyor registrations.
• It is assumed that local government entities currently use registered land surveyors as
required by this legislation.
• Any impact on state or local government is estimated to be not significant.
IMPACT TO COMMERCE:
NOT SIGNIFICANT
Assumptions:
• There may be an increase in business revenue for land surveyors if currently such land is
being surveyed by someone other than a registered land surveyor; however, any increase in
business revenue for a land surveyor may also result in a decrease in business revenue for
any other business otherwise recording such deeds.
• Any impact on business expenses will be not significant.
CERTIFICATION:
The information contained herein is true and correct to the best of my knowledge.
