Wisconsin Rules and Statutes for Land Surveyors

This course is designed to familiarize Wisconsin land surveying professionals with the Wisconsin statutes and rules that directly pertain to the regulation of their profession. There are many laws, rules and regulations covering the professional land surveyor, as well as other professions and services of which the Department of Safety and Professional Service (DSPS) has responsibility. These laws, rules and regulations come from actions of the Legislative and Executive Branches which pass laws that modify Wisconsin Statutes and the Rulemaking process and involve agencies - such as DSPS - working together with professional boards to develop rules which will carry out requirements set out in Wisconsin Statutes. These rules, when they are developed and finalized, become part of the Wisconsin Administrative code.  The content of this course reflects the 2023-24 Wisconsin Statutes updated through 2025 Wis. Act 3 and through all Supreme Court and Controlled Substances Board Orders filed before and in effect on March 30, 2025.
