Franklin County Engineer

As a local public works agency headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, the Franklin County Engineer's Office is responsible for the maintenance and construction of 271 miles of county roadway and 351 county bridges, as well as upkeep of all county ditches, drains, retention basins, and other storm water facilities within the right-of-way of county roads in unincorporated areas. To meet the continuing development and infrastructure needs of Franklin County, the Engineer's Office utilizes the latest technologies for determining and maintaining roadway centerlines and boundaries; retracing and setting new monuments for original public land surveys; preparing geographic information system mapping for real estate tax assessments; and establishing precise countywide horizontal and vertical control to maintain uniformity in construction, surveying, and mapping.

The FCEO Survey Department and Tax Map Division were proud to participate in the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Central Ohio STEM Expo, held at Otterbein University. Our team engaged with students and families, sharing how professional surveyors define property boundaries, map communities, and support the infrastructure projects residents rely on every day. It was a great opportunity to highlight the real-world impact of STEM careers and introduce students to the surveying profession. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to learn more about how surveying helps build and connect our communities!
