These educational capsules are intended to guide personnel on key compliance topics and internal processes. They also address frequently asked questions that reach the Office of the Comptroller of Puerto Rico through the Integrated System for Requesting Legal Guidance (SIPSOL).
In this educational capsule the Comptroller of Puerto Rico, CPA and Attorney Carmen A. Vega Fournier, addresses a question regarding the contracting of land surveying services in municipalities. She analyzes whether a regular corporation, such as an LLC, may provide land surveying services, and what requirements are imposed by Act 164-2009 (the General Corporations Act) and Act 173-1988, which regulates this profession in Puerto Rico.
We explain why these services must be provided through a professional corporation and by duly licensed individuals, and what municipalities must verify before formalizing a contract of this kind.
