Land surveying and CALABARZON

CALABARZON runs from the industrial belt of Cavite and Laguna to the lakeshore of Laguna de Bay and the shores of Batangas, and each of these edges brings a different land rule to your survey.

For farmland turned into estates, ask DAR whether conversion approval is needed, and ask the LGU zoning office about its zoning rules. In Batangas, Taal Volcano Island is a permanent danger zone where Phivolcs advises against settlement, and the Laguna de Bay shoreland is covered on the Laguna page.

Common problems in CALABARZON

• Farmland sold for industrial use: Before an estate is subdivided, it is advisable to ask DAR and the LGU zoning office before subdividing agricultural land. A subdivision plan prepared ahead of that answer may have to be redone if the approved area changes.
• Lots along Laguna de Bay: In Laguna and Rizal, a lakeside parcel can reach the LLDA shoreland line described on the Laguna page. A topographic survey with elevations shows where your lot sits against that line before you pay for it.
• Lots near Taal Volcano: Phivolcs designates Taal Volcano Island a permanent danger zone and has barred entry to high-risk barangays in Agoncillo and Laurel during heightened activity. It helps to check a lot's position against Phivolcs hazard maps before surveying it.
• Beach lots in San Juan, Batangas: CENRO Lipa has run an information campaign on occupation of foreshore and salvage zones in San Juan, Batangas. A relocation survey of a beach lot shows how much of it falls near those zones.
