  • Compendium of Louisiana and Federal Laws Relating to Land Surveying
    2020 Compendium Of Louisiana and Federal Laws Relating to Land Surveying 2020 Louisiana Professional Engineering and Land Surveying Board 9643 Brookline Avenue, Suite 121 Baton Rouge, LA 70809-1433 Phone: (225) 925-6291 Fax: (225) 925-6292 www.lapels.com 1080563-1 INTRODUCTION The practice of land surveying has become more complex over the years and its importance in Louisiana much greater as land values have increased and the development of oil, gas and other natural resources has become such a large factor in the state’s economy. This situation has made it imperative that professional land surveyors be required to have more ability and judgment than formerly. The Louisiana Professional Engineering and Land Surveying Board has responded to the need for more capability on the part of persons it authorizes to perform land surveying by increasing the scope of the examinations it gives to applicants, particularly to ensure that a professional land surveyor will have some elementary knowledge of our state’s property and land laws as well as technical proficiency in the profession. This publication was prepared in order to fulfill the need for a compilation of the elementary laws governing land surveys and land surveying in Louisiana. It is not intended to provide enough information and education to make a lawyer out of a land surveyor; rather, its purpose is to guide the applicant in studying for licensure examinations and the professional land surveyor in the field and the drafting room in making and plotting surveys. Annotations and summaries of decided cases have not been made a part of this Compendium.

  • Licensure Objectives: Resources: Purpose: License Renewal: Transfer of a License
    LICENSURE OBJECTIVES: 1. Identify the difference between licensure and certification 2. Describe the process to license in multiple states 3. Describe reasons that a license may be suspended or revoked RESOURCES: Individuals entering a profession are responsible for understanding the local, regional, state or national regulations and processes for licensure or certification. Most often the licensure process will be covered in the course work that you complete to become eligible for licensure. Most professions that require licensure have a specific department who issues the license and enforces the regulations. Individuals interested in additional information on licensure should contact the appropriate department. For example the licensure and regulatory agency for nursing in Illinois is the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). www.idfpr.com PURPOSE: Licensure provides permission to practice in a particular field. Careers which require licensing typically require a specialized skill, are deemed dangerous or affect the general public. Examples of careers requiring licensure are physicians, dentists, nurses, pilots, lawyers, accountants and psychologists. Licensing is granted through a regulatory agency or professional organization. Licensure requires specialized training or an academic degree followed by an examination which may be written, practical or both. In professions that require licensure, individuals are not legally allowed to practice in the job without the license. Licensure differs from certification in that licensure is a legal requirement and certification is often an employment qualification. LICENSE RENEWAL: Most licenses require periodic renewal. The renewal process includes payment of a renewal fee. The renewal cycle differs for all professions. For example the nursing license requires renewal every two years.

  • The Scope of Your Real Estate License Broker Guide
    The Scope of Your Real Estate License Broker Guide Scope of Real Estate License The practice of real estate is limited to those that have obtained a license through the Virginia Real Estate Board. Generally, the practice of real estate involves a real estate licensee brokering a real estate transaction on behalf of a third-party seller/ landlord and/or buyer/tenant for a fee. Examples of activities only real estate licensees are permitted to do for third parties for a fee include: • Showing property; • Holding an open house; and • Offering a fee to another real estate licensee in return for the referral of real estate clients. Real estate licensees have clear parameters concerning what they are permitted to do. Three common areas where licensees run into trouble include: 1. The unauthorized practice of law; 2. Practicing at more than one firm; and 3. The sale of mobile homes. Questions and Answers May real estate licensees write real estate purchase contracts? Drafting contracts for others is the practice of law in Virginia, and it is therefore generally restricted to licensed attorneys. However, real estate licensees may do it if it’s incidental to a real estate transaction in which the licensee is involved, and the licensee does not receive a separate fee for it (See § 54.1-2101.1.) 1 The Unauthorized Practice of Law - Examples 1 A real estate licensee represents a purchaser in a transaction and has a buyer broker agreement. At the direction of his client, he adds a sale of home contingency to an offer to purchase.
