The North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors proposes to amend 21 NCAC 56.1602 (Surveying Procedures) Section (h) to clarify requirements for documenting the method of area computation. The proposed amendment would require surveyors to state the computation method on plats, written descriptions, or other documents, and would explicitly prohibit area computations by estimation, planimeter, scale, or copying from another source, except for tracts with inaccessible areas. A public hearing is scheduled for January 14, 2026.
