A. If possible, contact the crew and ask them what they are doing and who they are working for. You may have to get their company phone number and call their supervisor for more information. You can also try to get a company name off of the vehicle they are driving. New survey monuments are required to be marked with caps with the surveyor’s registration number or corporate name on them. If you find such a monument, you can call the Oregon State Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors at 503-362-2666, and they can provide you with information on how to contact the surveyor or the company. Your neighbors could be another source of information. The County Surveyor’s Office crews use clearly marked trucks and use yellow and orange ribbon marked "WASHINGTON COUNTY SURVEYOR". You can get information regarding a County survey crew by calling 503-846-7933 or 503-846-3465.

A. The County does not perform survey work for private parties. If you want your property surveyed, you must hire a private land surveyor. The yellow pages of the phone book have a listing under "Surveyors-land." The County Surveyor’s Office cannot make recommendations.
