Bill
AB 1999
AB 1999 authorizes California land surveyors to use photogrammetry technology for conducting property surveys, modernizing surveying methods and potentially reducing costs.
AB 1999 modifies California's regulations governing land surveyors by explicitly authorizing the use of photogrammetry—a surveying technique that uses photographs and digital imagery to measure and map land—as an acceptable method for conducting surveys. The bill clarifies professional standards and potentially expands the tools available to licensed surveyors for property mapping and boundary determination.
This bill directly affects how land surveys are conducted in California, which impacts real estate transactions, construction projects, infrastructure planning, and property disputes. By formally recognizing photogrammetry, the bill may reduce survey costs and timelines while modernizing outdated regulations that predate digital imaging technology. This has downstream effects on housing development, commercial real estate, and government infrastructure projects.
