Apply Florida's minimum technical standards for surveys (Chapter 5J-17, F.A.C.)

Steps

1. Pull the current text of Chapter 5J-17, F.A.C. ('Professional Surveyors and Mappers') from flrules.org rather than an old PDF, since the Florida Board of Professional Surveyors and Mappers updates rules periodically.
2. For boundary work, apply Rules 5J-17.051 and 5J-17.052 (Standards of Practice — Boundary Survey Requirements), which set the field procedure and precision requirements for boundary surveys performed in Florida.
3. Apply Rule 5J-17.053 (Standards of Practice — Professional Matters in Surveying and Mapping) for certification language, professional responsibility, and general practice requirements.
4. Ensure monuments are marked with a durable marker/cap bearing the surveyor's license number or firm name, are detectable by conventional instrumentation, and use approved alternate monumentation in hard surfaces (asphalt/concrete) where a standard monument can't be set.
5. If delivering digital coordinate files with the survey, include the required statement about intended display scale, and use Rule 5J-17.085 (Survey Review) guidance if the survey will undergo formal review.
