Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
The minimum standards of practice set forth in this Section are
				intended to provide protection for the public by insuring that surveying and
				mapping services defined in this Section are completed in accordance with
				prevailing professional practices and current technological methods, and to
				provide a means by which professional performance of the individual
				practitioner can be assessed. These standards are to be binding upon every
				person and firm practicing land surveying in the State of Illinois, except
				where differing federal, State or local laws, ordinances or rules may be more
				stringent, or when special conditions exist that effectively prevent the survey
				from meeting these minimum standards. When special conditions exist any
				necessary deviations from the standards shall be noted on the plat or map. It
				shall be a violation of this Part to use special conditions to circumvent the
				intent and purpose of the minimum standards. Any of the professional services
				set forth in this Section are greatly influenced by the evaluation of recorded
				information and field observations, and all those services shall be
				accomplished in compliance with these standards to ensure that they are
				located, described and platted in a professional manner. All terms used in
				these Minimum Standards of Practice shall be interpreted to agree with the
				definitions of those terms in the most current publication of Black's Law
				Dictionary, Definitions of Surveying and Associated Terms published by the
				National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS) and the American Society of
				Civil Engineers (ASCE), and Glossary of the Mapping Sciences published by
				American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS), NSPS and the
				ASCE.
a) ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey
1) An ALTA/NSPS land title survey is a
			 specialized survey that meets the specific needs peculiar to title insurance
			 purposes, to enable title insurance companies to insure title to land without
			 exceptions as to survey matters.
2)
			 All land title surveys shall be subject to the "2021 Minimum Standard Detail
			 Requirements for ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys", published jointly by the
			 American Land Title Association (ALTA), 1828 L. St., N.W., Suite 705,
			 Washington, D.C. 20036 and the National Society of Professional Surveyors

			 incorporation does not include any later amendments or editions.
3) All ALTA/NSPS land title surveys are to be
			 performed to the current ALTA/NSPS Minimum Standard Detail Requirements. It is
			 incumbent upon the licensed professional land surveyor to discuss with the
			 client additional or optional requirements to be provided.

To safeguard the health, safety, and welfare of the public and
				to maintain integrity and high standards of skill and practice of professional
				land surveying, the following standards of professional conduct shall be
				binding on every licensee and on all Professional Design Firms authorized to
				offer or perform professional land surveying services in Illinois.

			 first and foremost responsibility is to safeguard the health, safety, and
			 welfare of the public when performing services for clients and
			 employers.

			 and seal only those plans, surveys and other documents that conform to accepted
			 professional land surveying standards and that safeguard the health, safety,
			 and welfare of the public.
3)
			 Licensees shall notify their employer or client and such other authority as may
			 be appropriate when their professional judgment is overruled when the health,
			 safety, or welfare of the public endangered.
4) Licensees shall, to the best of their
			 knowledge, include all relevant and pertinent information in an objective and
			 truthful manner within all professional documents, statements, and
			 testimony.
5) Licensees shall
			 express a professional opinion publicly only when it is founded upon an
			 adequate knowledge of the facts and a competent evaluation of the subject
			 matter.
6) Licensees shall issue no
			 statements, criticisms, or arguments on professional land surveying matters
			 that are inspired or paid for by interest parties, unless they explicitly
			 identify the interest parties on whose behalf they are speaking and reveal any
			 interest they have in the matters.
7) Licensees shall not partner, practice, or
			 offer to practice with any person or firm that they know is engaged in
			 fraudulent or dishonest business or professional practices.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024

			 surveyor shall have a reproducible seal or facsimile, which may be computer
			 generated, the impression of which shall contain the name of the land surveyor,
			 his or her place of business, the license number of the professional land
			 surveyor, and the words "Professional Land Surveyor, State of Illinois". A
			 professional land surveyor shall seal all documents prepared by or under the
			 direct supervision and control of the professional land surveyor. Any seal on a
			 plat of survey, which bears the name of a professional design firm, rather than
			 bearing the name of the individual licensed professional land surveyor
			 responsible for the survey, shall be deemed an invalid seal. The individual
			 licensee's written signature and date of signing, along with the date of
			 license expiration, shall be placed adjacent to the seal. The licensee may
			 provide, at his or her sole discretion, an original signature in the licensee's
			 handwriting, a scanned copy of the document bearing an original signature, or a
			 signature generated by a computer.
b) It is unlawful to affix one's seal to
			 documents if doing so masks the true identity of the person who actually
			 exercised direction, control and supervision of the preparation of that work. A
			 Professional Land Surveyor who seals and signs documents is not responsible for
			 damage caused by subsequent changes to or uses of those documents when the
			 subsequent changes or uses, including changes or uses made by State or local
			 government agencies, are not authorized or approved by the Professional Land
			 Surveyor who originally sealed and signed the documents.
c) All technical submissions issued by a land
			 surveying firm, corporation, limited liability company, professional limited
			 liability company, or partnership are required to bear the corporate or assumed
			 business name and design firm registration number, in addition to the seal
			 requirements.
d) A suggested
			 facsimile of the design and lettering of the seal is found in Section
			 1270.ILLUSTRATION A.
