The Land Survey program
checks maps and documents for compliance with federal, state and local
laws. The maps and documents are prepared by Professional Land Surveyors
and Civil Engineers. The maps and documents come from many sources,
such as private landowners, subdividers, local, state and federal agencies.
We review Subdivision and Parcel Maps, Record of Surveys, Corner Records,
Lot Line Adjustments, Property Merges and boundary exhibit maps and
documents for local jurisdictions including school, fire, utility and
community service districts.
In addition, as authorized by the Board of Supervisors, the County Surveyor
surveys only those lands owned by the County of El Dorado. Although
the County Surveyor is not in the business of surveying privately held
lands, we are here to try and answer any question the public may have
regarding land surveying. So feel free to give us a call if you should
have a surveying concern or question. On privately owned property a
private licensed surveyor or engineer is required to survey your boundary,
set missing corners, divide property, record maps, establish setbacks
from property lines or easements, conduct topographic or construction
surveys and to write property or easement descriptions. For more information go to our frequently asked questions section for land survey.
The Addressing program
is responsible for assigning addresses to provide a uniform numbering
system to protect the health, safety and welfare of those who live and
work in the county. Such a system enhances the ability of emergency
vehicles to respond rapidly to calls, provide for an orderly election
process, expedite postal and other delivery services and eliminates
confusion and error in locating businesses and residences. For
more information, please go to our frequently asked questions section
for addressing.
At the request of a property owner, the Certificate
of Compliance program will determine, process, issue and
record documents known as certificates of compliance.
This document states that your parcel of land is in compliance with
the Subdivision Map Act and local ordinance and that you may sell, lease,
or finance your land. If you need further help, please contact us at 530-621-5159 or surveyor@edcgov.us.
The Geographic Information Systems
program is responsible for developing, managing and delivering
a wide variety of maps and data to the general public. From tabular
data sets we create maps and create tabular data sets from maps. Many
members of the public do not know this resource exists. If you are interested
in maps or data, please contact the GIS Manager at (530) 621-6511 or
visit our map
library.
