In the case of licensed professional surveyors, the certificate shall authorize the "practice of surveying." In the case of a surveyor intern, the certificate shall state that the applicant has successfully passed the examination in fundamental land surveying subjects required by the board and has been enrolled as a " surveyor intern." Certificates shall show the full name of the professional surveyor or surveyor intern, shall have a serial number and shall be signed by the president and the secretary of the board under seal of the board.   The issuance of a certificate of licensure by this board shall be prima facie evidence that the person named therein is entitled to all the rights and privileges of a licensed professional surveyor, while the said certificate remains unrevoked or unexpired.   Each person licensed as a professional surveyor after June 30, 1991, but prior to July 1, 2004, shall, upon licensure, obtain a seal of the design authorized by the board, bearing the licensee's name and the legend "Registered Professional Land Surveyor."

Any person who, before July 1, 1991, but prior to July 1, 2004, was licensed under this chapter as a land surveyor or as both a professional engineer and a land surveyor may continue to use the seal or seals that he obtained and that were authorized by the board to be used by such person before July 1, 1991. From and after July 1, 2004, each person licensed as a professional surveyor shall, upon licensure, obtain a seal of the design and authorized by the board, bearing the licensee's name and the legend "Professional Surveyor."

 Certificates of licensure shall expire on the last day of the month of December at the end of the renewal period following their issuance or renewal and shall become invalid on that date unless renewed. It shall be the duty of the board to notify every person licensed under Sections 73-13-71 through 73-13-105 of the date of the expiration of his certificate and the amount of the fee that shall be required for its renewal for one (1) year or two (2) years; such notice shall occur at least one (1) month in advance of the date of the expiration of said certificate. Renewal may be effected at any time during the month of December by the payment of a fee not to exceed Fifty Dollars ($50.00) or One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) if renewals are for two (2) years. A person who is licensed as a professional surveyor and as a professional engineer may effect both renewals by the payment of a single fee not to exceed Seventy-five Dollars ($75.00), or One Hundred Fifty Dollars ($150.00) if renewals are for two (2) years. The failure on the part of any licensee to renew his certificate annually or biennially in the month of December as required above shall not deprive such person of the right of renewal, but the fee to be paid for the renewal of a certificate after the month of December shall be increased ten percent (10%) for each month that payment of renewal is delayed; however, the maximum fee for delayed renewal shall not exceed five (5) times the normal renewal fee.   If a certificate has expired for six (6) months or more, the licensee shall be required to submit a new application, paying back fees and submitting proof of continuing professional competency compliance. If the certificate has expired for five (5) years or more, in addition to submitting a new application and proof of continuing professional competency compliance, reexamination in the principles and practice may be required. The reexamination may be waived by the board provided the applicant has continued to practice under another jurisdiction from the date of expiration of his certificate.

2020 Mississippi Code|Title 73 - Professions and Vocations|Chapter 13 - Engineers and Land Surveyors|Land Surveyors|§ 73-13-103. Immunity of land surveyors from criminal liability for trespass

  For the purposes of this section, the term "surveyor" means a licensed professional surveyor as defined in Section 73-13-71, and any person who is employed by or under the direct supervision of a professional surveyor licensed under Sections 73-13-71 through 73-13-97.   A surveyor may enter in or upon public or private lands or waters, except buildings, while in the lawful performance of surveying duties without criminal liability for trespass; however, a surveyor shall make a good faith attempt to announce and identify himself and his intentions before entering upon private property and must present documentation sufficient to identify him as a surveyor to anyone requesting such identification.   The provisions of this section do not relieve a surveyor from any civil liability that otherwise is actionable at law or in equity, and do not relieve a surveyor from criminal liability for trespass if the entry in or upon the property extends beyond the property or area that is necessary to actually perform the surveying duties.   Surveyors shall be personally liable for any damage caused to private property when exercising entry under this section. No cause of action shall lie against a landowner for damages to a surveyor while on such lands unless the damage is caused by the intentional tortious conduct of landowner or his agent.
