The expert surveyors

What is an expert surveyor?

An expert surveyor carries out the following activities:

• drawing up and signing plans that must serve for:
  • border recognition
  • an alteration
  • the settlement of boundary cases

Expert surveyors have a monopoly on the exercise of those activities.
