Utah Public Land Survey System Monument Preservation, Protection, and Rehabilitation Grants

The Monument Replacement and Rehabilitation Committee distributes legislative authorized grants to Utah counties to survey Public Land Survey System section corners. The funded scope requires recipients to preserve, protect, or rehabilitate PLSS monuments, prioritizing monuments in danger of disturbance, destruction, or severe deterioration. Eligible applicants are Utah counties that have established a Public Land Corner Preservation Fund under Utah Code Sections 17-63-710 and 17-73-104. Survey work must be conducted by the County Surveyor or a licensed Professional Land Surveyor contractor for the County. Applicants must submit a grant application that outlines the specific geographic area with a county-created map, describes the proposed scope of work, and lists the total required project cost. Eligible expenses include costs tied to monument protection, restoration, re-monumentation, rehabilitation, preservation, documentation, and attendance at required Utah Association of County Surveyors meetings.
