Lands acquired by the provincial, city/municipal, or barangay government pursuant to the Local Government Code of 1991, and other pertinent laws which are not needed for public purposes are classified as which survey?

• A. Private Land Surveys
• B. Local Government Units Land Surveys
• C. Amendment Surveys
• D. Other Land Surveys

Answer: (B)

The main concept is how surveys are categorized when land is owned by a local government unit (LGU) under the Local Government Code and related laws. Lands acquired by provincial, city/municipal, or barangay governments that are not needed for public purposes are classified as Local Government Units Land Surveys because the parcels are owned by the LGU and require survey work to establish or confirm titles and descriptions for LGU administration and records.

This fits because the private land surveys category applies to privately owned parcels, amendment surveys deal with correcting or updating boundaries on an existing survey, and the category of other land surveys is a broader residual option. The LGU-specific classification flags that the land belongs to the local government rather than a private owner.
