Authority: IC 25-21.5-2-14
Affected: IC 25-21.5; IC 36-2-12
Sec. 30.
(a) This
				section outlines the procedures and requirements for registered land surveyors
				when perpetuating the location of original public land survey or grant corners.
				As used in this section, "grant" means a subdivision, parcel, or tract of land
				that existed, or the parent tract of which existed, prior to the commencement
				of the United States Public Land Survey adjoining such subdivision, parcel, or
				tract.
(b) The purported location
				of an original public land survey or grant corner as referenced by the county
				surveyor of the county in which the corner exists is prima facie evidence of
				that corner's location. The registered land surveyor's responsibility with
				regard to the use of or need for original public land survey corners or grant
				corners in association with an original or retracement survey is not met by
				merely contacting the county surveyor.
(c) If the:
(1) location of an original public land
				survey or grant corner is not monumented and referenced by the county surveyor
				in accordance with Indiana Code 36-2-12; or
(2) registered land surveyor discovers
				evidence, or otherwise has reason to believe, that a monument purporting to
				mark the location of an original public land survey or grant corner is not in
				the proper location;
and if that corner is necessary for purposes of conducting an
				  original, retracement, or route survey as defined in this rule, the registered
				  land surveyor shall contact the county surveyor and perpetuate that corner's
				  location in accordance with this section if the county surveyor is unable to
				  perpetuate the corner in the time frame required by the registered land
				  surveyor.
