What is a Surveyors Entry?

An Entry is the second step in the land patenting process. After a Warrant is obtained, the prospective landowner files an Entry with the county surveyor reserving land considered unappropriated and available for patenting. The county surveyor and his team then go to the field to perform the actual Field Survey, the third step in the patenting process. After the Survey is complete, the Warrant, Survey and proof of Entry are sent to the Land Office where the Governor’s Grant is prepared for signature. (For more information on the patenting process, see Section V of “Virginia Land Law A” and Section III of “Virginia Land Law B” in the Reference Library-Legislation section of this website. Also see KRS 56 for the role of the Entry in today’s process of patenting land.
