Plain Language Summary

This bill requires the North Carolina Department of Transportation to install permanent metal corner markers along property lines after completing road projects that involve acquiring right-of-way or easements. The markers must be placed according to surveying standards and tied to the state coordinate system to clearly identify property boundaries.

Arguments in Favor

• •Supporters argue this bill protects property owners by clearly marking where their land ends and DOT-acquired property begins, reducing future boundary disputes and confusion.
• •It ensures that survey work already performed during project planning is not wasted and provides a permanent record of property lines that benefits both landowners and the state.

Arguments Against

• •Opponents may argue this creates an additional financial burden on DOT by requiring installation of markers after projects are complete, potentially increasing costs.
• •Some may question whether the benefit justifies the expense, especially in rural areas, or whether existing survey documentation is sufficient without physical markers.
