Public surveying in the State of Berlin
Public surveyors – as a consequence of their “public appointment” – are entrusted with statutory duties. In the State of Berlin it is our job to certify certain facts regarding land, much in the same manner as a notary certifies the validity of contracts. Together, surveyors and notaries are the guarantors of protection of title. Surveys contribute to public faith in the accuracy of land registers; for this reason, they are subject to high quality standards.
