My lot is being cleared for my future home. I noticed posts in the ground with LOD written on them. Was wondering if anyone knew what that stands for.

Best I can find is "Limits of Deviation", but not clear as to what it means when it comes to a property survey.

Yeah, My guess was "Limit of Disturbance". Might be time to hit up some Google!

I work for an engineering firm / survey firm (survey CADD tech). Yes. LOD stands for Limit of disturbace. This is the area your excavator can clear to for grading purposes, etc.
