Where can I find recent section corner certificates?
Recent corner records are linked through Beacon under the “Corners” layer. Linked corner records include the following:
- All Section Corner Certificates and Monument Preservation Certificates recorded with the County Recorder
- Corner records from the County Engineer’s Office from the 1980s and 1990s
Where can I find older section corner records?
Contact the County Engineer’s Office for older records. We are in the process of scanning and making available all corner records back to the 1930s.
