SURVEYOR and RECORDS

New York licensed land surveyors must retain for six years all preliminary and final plans, documents, computations, records, and professional evaluations they or their employees prepared, related to the work which the licensee signed and sealed. They may not reveal personally identifiable data or information obtained in a professional capacity without the prior consent of the client. Only the client may request copies of documents from the licensee which have been prepared for and paid for by the client.

All work is prepared for the original client. In the case of the change of owner additional fees may apply.
