Rule 9 Surveys, Descriptions and Maps

If you need to file a survey, a legal description of land, or a map with the Land Court, it has to be prepared following the specific format and standards laid out in Part III of the rules. This means you can't just submit any survey or description in whatever style you or your surveyor prefers.

In practice, this means you should check Part III before filing these documents. It sets out the technical requirements for how surveys, descriptions, and maps must look and what information they need to include. Following these standards helps make sure your filing is accepted and processed without delays.

If you're working with a surveyor or attorney on a land case, make sure they're familiar with Part III's requirements. Getting these details right from the start can save you time and prevent your filing from being rejected or sent back for corrections.
