Modifies provisions governing the recording of land surveys

HB 1078 modifies how land surveyors in Missouri must record surveys affecting property boundaries. It allows surveyors to file survey results either with their county recorder of deeds or with the Missouri Department of Agriculture’s land survey program, but with a key limitation: filings only with the agriculture department cannot be used as court evidence unless also filed with the county recorder. This directly affects surveyors and property owners involved in land surveys, as it changes the filing process while maintaining the county recorder’s role for legal evidence. The bill focuses on administrative procedures for survey documentation, not substantive policy changes.
