Mission and Vision Statement
- Our mission is to maintain, improve and distribute reliable information about the Public Land Survey System and real property boundaries in Pine County.
- We envision providing complete, open, ready access to land related information for all who seek it.
- The Pine County Surveyor’s Office provides accurate and reliable surveying/mapping information and products that are the foundation for activities that relate to land.
- Our survey data is a compilation of electronic data, mapping, photo imagery, location of land boundaries, and information about the rights that accrue to real property. It is the foundation for all geodetic information systems within Pine County.
- We strive to meet the needs and expectations of users of both survey data and records based land information. The data that we produce is the raw material for services that support management, acquisition and disposal of land and property rights. Our goal is to provide useful services and accurate information that is appropriate for the needs of all users.
