Disclaimer: For Informational Use Only – Not a Legal Survey

The LiDAR provided by TopoMetriks are intended solely for preliminary planning, visualization, and informational purposes.

This data was not prepared under the supervision of a licensed land surveyor (PLS) and therefore does not comply with the standards for land surveying set forth by the California Business and Professions Code (BPC), including but not limited to:

-BPC § 8726, which defines the “practice of land surveying” to include the determination of the configuration or contour of the earth’s surface and the preparation of topographic maps.

-BPC § 8761, which requires that all maps, plats, reports, descriptions, or other survey documents be prepared by or under the responsible charge of a licensed land surveyor and be signed and sealed accordingly.

-BPC § 8771, which governs the documentation and perpetuation of survey monuments and boundary evidence.

As such, the deliverables presented do not meet California’s statutory requirements for certified topographic surveys, and may not be used for:

-Boundary resolution or legal property determinations

-Engineering design requiring survey-grade base data

-Construction staking, permitting, or grading plans

-Any application requiring certification under the Professional Land Surveyors’ Act

Users are advised that this dataset does not constitute an authoritative survey and is not intended to substitute for services performed by a licensed land surveyor. While reasonable efforts were made to ensure geometric integrity and general accuracy, no warranty, expressed or implied, is made regarding its suitability for legal or design purposes. Use of this data is entirely at the recipient’s discretion and risk.

For certified survey data or legally compliant topographic mapping, please consult a licensed Professional Land Surveyor authorized to practice in the State of California.
