When you need a Geodetic Engineer
Relocation survey
Re-establishment of titled boundaries on the ground with corner monuments set, for disputes, fencing and pre-purchase checks.
Subdivision survey
Division of a titled property into separately titled lots, with the plan processed for DENR/LRA approval, for inheritance and partial sales.
Topographic survey
Contours, elevations and site features in PRS92 for house construction, site development and drainage design.
Land titling survey
Approved plans and technical descriptions for free patent applications and judicial titling of untitled land.
Land surveying and Siquijor
In Siquijor, a small island province, surveying demand is increasingly driven by a fast-growing tourism industry that now sits alongside the island's traditional fishing and agricultural economy of rice, corn and coconut. Titles are registered with the Registry of Deeds of the province under the Land Registration Authority, while the municipal assessors handle tax mapping and the DENR approves public-land and cadastral surveys across the island's six municipalities. Every plan must be signed and sealed by a PRC-licensed Geodetic Engineer and referenced to PRS92. Lot and subdivision surveys, relocation and verification surveys, and topographic surveys for resorts, beachfront properties and tourism developments are the recurring demand.
Common problems in Siquijor
- Boundaries that don't match the title: Long-standing occupation drifts from the technical description over the years. A relocation survey re-establishes the corners on the ground before a sale, a partition or a fence becomes a dispute.
- Untitled land in long occupation: Land held for decades without a title needs the survey and the plan before a free patent or a judicial application can even be filed.
Frequently asked questions in Siquijor
How much does a land survey cost in Siquijor?+
Fees vary with the lot area, terrain and type of survey. Request a free quotation and you'll receive an exact price in pesos within 24 hours, with no obligation.
How do I know the surveyor is licensed?+
Under RA 8560, only a PRC-licensed Geodetic Engineer may sign and seal survey plans, so ask your surveyor for their PRC licence and check it at prc.gov.ph. We connect you with a local Geodetic Engineer in your area.
Will the survey be accepted by the DENR and the Registry of Deeds?+
Yes. Plans are referenced to PRS92 / PTM (EO 45, s. 1993), signed and dry-sealed by the GE, and prepared for verification and approval through the DENR Land Management Services and the Registry of Deeds under the Torrens system (PD 1529).
How long does it take?+
For a typical residential lot, fieldwork is done in 1–2 days and the plan is delivered in a few working days. DENR verification and approval timelines depend on the office concerned.
Does the surveyor have to be PRC-licensed?+
Yes. Under RA 8560, as amended, only Geodetic Engineers registered and licensed by the PRC may sign and seal survey plans, and the DENR, the LRA and the Registry of Deeds accept nothing less. Any license can be verified at prc.gov.ph.
