Why You Need a Licensed Cadastral Surveyor 

Property boundaries are a legal matter — and getting them wrong can cost you time, money, and future headaches. As a Licensed Cadastral Surveyor, Kurt Watson is authorised under New Zealand law to define, mark, adjust, and certify land boundaries with the accuracy required for titles, subdivisions, easements, and Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) lodged survey datasets.

We provide the assurance that your boundary information is legally defensible, technically precise, and fully compliant with LINZ cadastral standards. 

You need a licensed cadastral surveyor whenever a legal boundary is involved, including:

• Subdivisions

• Boundary adjustments

• Easements

• Redefining or reinstating boundary marks

• Lodging cadastral survey datasets with LINZ

Only a Licensed Cadastral Surveyor can legally prepare and certify cadastral survey datasets for the cadastre (New Zealand’s official record of land boundaries).
