Certified Survey Map Process:
The first step in any land division is contacting the Shawano County Planning office to set up a preliminary Consultation. This is a formal process and is used to promote a better understanding of the developer’s intent and the Shawano County Regulations. The consultation can reduce potential delays in the review process by giving both parties a clear picture of the development and any potential requirements by Shawano County.
The surveyor will complete the CSM and submit it to the Planning and Development office for formal review along with the applicable review fee. The Planning and Development office has 20 business days to complete the review. Any corrections or changes required in the CSM must be made by the surveyor prior to approval by the Planning and Development Office. Following review and approval, the CSM is taken to the Register of Deeds for recording. A flat fee of $30 is required for recording the CSM.

Shawano County U.S. Public Land Surveyor Corner Remonumentation Program:
When a Government Corner or its witness ties are missing due to a road/utility construction or accidently removed, the corner needs to be replaced along with an updated Shawano Tie sheet submitted to the Shawano County Planning and Zoning Department. The Shawano County Surveyor will approve all requests for corner remonumentation. The Shawano County “U.S. Public Land Survey Corner Remonumentation” request form needs to be submitted to the Shawano County for approval prior to the work being started.
Shawano County will reimburse $150 for a Government Corner that the corner is in place but is missing more than 1 witness monument. The new witness monuments will be set, tied to the government corner and a new tie sheet will be submitted per Wisconsin Administration Code AE-7.
Shawano County will reimburse $300 for a missing government corner. The corner will be re-established, tied to 4 witness monuments and a new tie sheet submitted per Wisconsin Administration Code AE-7.
Shawano County will furnish all Berntsen off road monuments. For road monuments Berntsen SNM1 Markers (Steel Survey Nails), 3” Mag Spikes, Railroad spikes are all acceptable and will be the surveyor’s responsibility along with all witness monuments.
The surveyor shall follow procedures for determining corner locations as laid out by the United States and the State of Wisconsin and all other rules and regulations pertaining to the retracement of original government surveys.
