Which survey covers lands claimed or owned by an individual, a partnership, a corporation, or any other form of organization, undertaken for purposes of original or subsequent land registration?

• A. Amendment Surveys
• B. Private Land Surveys
• C. Friar Land Surveys
• D. National Government Lands Survey

Answer: (B)

Private Land Survey is the type used when lands are claimed or owned by individuals, partnerships, corporations, or any other form of organization and the work is undertaken for original registration or for any subsequent land registration (such as subdivision, consolidation, or title transfer). This kind of survey produces the plan and boundary data needed to issue or update titles for private ownership. Amendment surveys, in contrast, are about correcting errors or redefining boundaries on an existing plan rather than initiating ownership registration. Friar Lands Surveys deal with lands historically granted to religious orders, which is a special historical category not representative of typical private ownership. National Government Lands Surveys concern lands owned by the government, not private entities.
