Need a Land Surveyor?

PLSC cannot recommend one surveyor over another. If you need a land surveyor, please go to the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) and download the list of Colorado licensed surveyors and also check for any disciplinary actions against a particular surveyor under the "Verify License Tab" on the DORA site. Certified Federal Surveyors are listed at www.cfeds.org/roster.asp. Be sure to check references for the surveyor you are considering hiring.

New data exchange NGS
Posted September 13, 2019

NGS is proposing a new data file format for the exchange of GNSS vectors derived from various GNSS survey methods and manufacturer technology. The format is called GNSS Vector eXchange (GVX). Please take a look at the proposed format and send any comments or suggestions to NGS.feedback@noaa.gov. I think that the Young Surveyors should chime in on this since so many of us have experience with different varieties of GNSS surveys and will likely be using this new format in the years to come.https://geodesy.noaa.gov/data/formats/GVX/index.shtml?utm_medium=email&utm_source=GovDelivery

Change in Examination Process for Land Surveyors
Posted May 02, 2019

National Council for Examiners for Engineering and Surveying has announced that starting May 15, 2019, applicants wishing to take the exam for engineer or land surveyor enrollment or licensure should contact the vendor, the National Council for Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES), directly. The Division of Professions and Occupations will no longer pre-approve applicants for the exams. Please note that the required qualifications are not changing, only the application process.Between May 1-14, 2019, the Division of Professions and Occupations will not accept any applications for engineer or land surveyor enrollment or licensure in order to prepare for this transition. The on-line applications will not be available during this time, but updated applications and instructions will reflect the new process and be posted on May 15, 2019.As licensees, educators, employers and other key stakeholders, you have direct contact with the students and professionals who may need to know about this change. We appreciate any efforts you can make to spread the word, so students and professionals know the correct path to licensure and do not encounter unexpected delays. Questions should be directed to Renee Wunsch, Licensing Supervisor at renee.wunsch@state.co.us. Thank you for your assistance.
