Public Act 345 of 1991 established the State Survey and Remonumentation Law. This Act provides for the remonumentation of all public land survey corners in the State of Michigan within a 30-year timeframe.
The State funds the Survey and Remonumentation Program to assist counties to more accurately represent survey corners within local jurisdictions. This is important because, over time, monument points used in surveying are often disturbed or destroyed. Washtenaw County residents will benefit from the program by having an accurate, restorable base of section corners upon which their properties are described.
