More specifically, tasks within each area of responsibility will include:

Cadastral Survey Reading & Mapping

4. Applicant must be able to look up and pull recorded deeds from courthouse records.

5. Applicant will need to compare changes in boundaries when a property is sold or subdivided by reading and mapping legal descriptions and/or surveys.
