Professional responsibility: GeoGear Tools are designed to assist licensed surveying professionals. Outputs from the deed parser, zoning lookup, and other tools are for reference purposes only and should not be relied upon as legal, boundary, or construction determinations without independent verification by a licensed Professional Land Surveyor.

Not a licensed surveying service

GeoGear Supply LLC is not a surveying firm. We do not provide surveying services. We do not stamp, sign, or certify any output. Our tools assist with tasks that would otherwise be done manually or with desktop software; they do not replace the judgment, field verification, or legal responsibility of a licensed PLS.

Deed parser accuracy

Legal descriptions vary widely in format, age, and clarity. Our parser performs well on standard metes-and-bounds descriptions and handles many complex cases, but it can and will produce incorrect results on ambiguous or corrupted inputs. Always review the parsed output against the original text. Closure error, area calculations, and plotted boundaries should all be independently verified before use.

Zoning setback data

Zoning setback information is sourced from publicly available municipal ordinances and cached for performance. The data may:

Not reflect recent ordinance amendments, variances, or zoning changes.
Omit overlay districts, PUD designations, or special conditions that apply to a specific parcel.
Contain extraction errors from the source document.

Always verify with the local building/planning department before relying on setback values for design, permitting, or construction.

Coordinate transformations

The Coordinate Converter uses simplified math for some transformations and is suitable for rough checks and visualization. For NGS-grade precision, use proj4-based workflows and consult official datum references. GeoGear is not responsible for errors introduced by converting between datums using our simplified math.

Field QC and linework

The Field QC Plotter and Point Cleanup tools are intended as visual QC aids. They are not a replacement for proper field notes, backsight verification, or a licensed surveyor's review of raw data before office processing.

No warranty on outputs

All outputs from GeoGear Tools are provided "as is". GeoGear makes no representations or warranties regarding accuracy, completeness, or fitness for any particular purpose. Your use of these outputs is at your sole discretion and risk.

Limitation of liability

GeoGear is not liable for any losses, damages, or expenses arising from the use of its tools, including but not limited to: construction errors, boundary disputes, permit rejections, or professional liability claims. See our Terms of Servicefor the full limitation of liability.
