(1)     contain a printed certification of the professional surveyor stating that "this is a boundary survey plat of an existing tract", or existing tracts, if appropriate, and that "it is not a land division or subdivision as defined in the New Mexico Subdivision Act [Chapter 47, Article 6, NMSA 1978]";   

(2)     identify all tracts by the uniform parcel code designation or other designation established by the county assessor, if applicable;   

(3)     meet the minimum standards for surveying in New Mexico as established by the board;   

(4)     not exceed a size of eighteen inches by twenty-four inches and be at least eight and one-half inches by eleven inches; and   

(5)     consist of two black-line copies, one of which the county clerk's office may require to be a mylar copy, made by the surveyor from a mylar original, which shall be maintained in the professional surveyor's files. One of the two black-line copies shall be filed and recorded by the county clerk and the other, containing recording information, shall be delivered by the county clerk to the county assessor.   

B.     Fees for recording a boundary survey plat shall be in conformance with Sections 14-8-12 through 14-8-16 NMSA 1978. The county clerk shall keep a proper index of boundary survey plats by the name of the subdivision, if applicable; owner; and by section, township and range or projected section, township and range if the subject tract is in a land grant. The records shall be kept in conformance with Sections 14-8-12 through 14-8-16 NMSA 1978.   

C.     For those surveys that do create a division of land, the survey shall be completed in conformity with the board's minimum standards and in conformity with the New Mexico Subdivision Act and any applicable local subdivision ordinances. Filing procedures shall be prescribed in the board's minimum standards. The record of survey required to be filed and recorded pursuant to this subsection shall be filed within sixty calendar days after completion of the survey or approval by the governing authority. The county clerk shall keep a proper index of land division plats by the name of the subdivision; by section, township and range or projected section, township and range if the subject tract is in a land grant; and by the number assigned to the land division plat by the local planning department, if applicable. The records shall be kept in conformance with Sections 14-8-12 through 14-8-16 NMSA 1978.
