Public land-survey work

Anthony Canto serves as Utah County surveyor. The county’s official profile identifies responsibilities involving the preservation of section-corner monuments, protection of property rights and maintenance of survey records. His public role centers on the reference system and documentation used to establish and describe land interests, together with survey work performed for county property and public purposes. [1]

Records and review responsibilities

Canto’s office maintains records of private surveys and corner documentation and reviews subdivision plats in unincorporated Utah County. It also reviews final local-entity plats countywide before recording. The office’s published material explains how its control network supports licensed surveyors and how county records preserve evidence used in property descriptions, development plans and subsequent surveying work. [2]

Monument protection and digital access

Current office services include electronic filing of boundary-survey maps and permits for work affecting survey monuments. The public records system includes survey maps, resurvey plats and corner reports showing monument locations and reference ties. The office also coordinates with cities on development plans when projects could disturb the Public Land Survey System’s physical reference points. [2]

Professional documentation standards

A January 2026 Utah Council of Land Surveyors announcement credits Canto with helping review and refine an updated Corner Record Guide. The guide provides templates, examples and a fillable form for documenting survey monuments. Participation in that effort links his county responsibilities to statewide collaboration on consistent records, alongside contributors from other counties and the surveying profession. [3]
