Safer marker placement for land surveyors

Colorado surveyors must set one or more reference markers when a required marker cannot safely occupy a traveled road within a public right-of-way. This covers federal, state, and other public rights-of-way, for both general land surveys and subdivisions. Reference markers also remain an option where terrain, water, marshes, structures, or planned construction make direct placement impractical. The law takes effect at 12:01 a.m. the day after 90 days following final legislative adjournment. That is August 12, 2026, if final adjournment is May 13, 2026. A timely referendum petition delays the law until voters approve it at the November 2026 general election. In that case, it takes effect when the governor officially declares the vote.

Land surveyors must file records electronically

Colorado land surveyors must submit records electronically to the board when using a survey control marker without an adequate existing record. Electronic filing also covers establishing, restoring, or repairing specified public land survey monuments and section, quarter-section, and sixteenth-section corners. The rule includes covered monuments associated with the U.S. Geological Survey or National Geodetic Survey. The board must adopt and update standard forms and technical requirements, and cannot require paper filings. Counties may keep, store, and index electronic copies; required record listings must appear in their electronic system. The law takes effect at 12:01 a.m. the day after 90 days following final legislative adjournment. That is August 12, 2026, if final adjournment is May 13, 2026. A timely referendum petition delays the law until voters approve it at the November 2026 general election. In that case, it takes effect when the governor officially declares the vote.
