First priority was given to land identified by cities or counties as having the original records either destroyed or seriously inconsistent, or where major infra-structure projects required government acquisition of land. After requests were filed and approved, the then "General Survey Team" (predecessor to today's Land Survey Bureau--LSB--of the Land Department of the Taiwan Provincial Government) went to undertake an on-site survey.
優先順序則是由各縣市政府選擇轄內地籍圖破損、誤謬嚴重的地區，或因重大建設要徵收土地而需要優先辦理的區域，報請審核後，再交由當時的測量總隊，也就是今天的土地測量局前身，進行實際調查及測量。
