your property drains into a Legal or Regulated County Drain,
the Drainage Board should be contacted. Tom Finke in this office
is whom you need to call and talk to. If you are not on a Legal
or Regulated Drain, Tom might still be able to help steer you
in the right direction,but the Drainage Board only has jurisdiction
over Legal or Regulated Drains. Back

10.
Can you recommend a private surveyor to use? |
| |
No, as
a government office, we cannot direct you to any particular
company. We recommend that you refer to the yellow pages and
look under "Land Surveyors" and go from there. We also recommend
that you call more that one and ask for a time frame and price.
Since surveying is somewhat seasonal, some firms may not be
able to meet your deadline. Back
