Meet Kent Setterberg, a Utah native running for SLCo Surveyor. A licensed Professional Surveyor with the State of Utah and a member of the Utah Council of Land Surveyors, Kent brings nearly 30 years of surveying experience.
Kent Setterberg is running for the Office of Salt Lake County Surveyor. He was born and raised in the Salt Lake Valley. Kent has happily married his beautiful wife, Mimi for 26 years. Kent has a daughter and a son, seven grandchildren, and one great-granddaughter. Kent is a licensed Professional Land Surveyor (P.L.S) with the State of Utah and a Utah Council of Land Surveyors member. He became part of the Salt Lake County Surveyor’s Office in 1994 and has gained years of knowledge in land surveying. Kent has taken advantage of opportunities that came within the Surveyor’s office in order to expand his education and training. He attended Salt Lake Community College where he received his Geomatics degree in Land Surveying, which resulted in acquiring his Surveying license.
In Kent’s 30 years in the Surveyor’s office, he has developed a passion for how land surveying impacts landowners and protects their property rights fairly and ethically. He will protect and preserve the Public Land Survey System, as this system is essential to all property surveys in the County and is shared by the County’s property tax system. In the land surveying community, the average age of a surveyor in Utah is 53 years old. We need more young people to be involved in surveying. Kent looks forward to connecting with these young people by attending career day events at schools in hopes of raising awareness and interest in the surveying industry.
FUN FACT: 3 of the 4 presidents on Mt. Rushmore were surveyors, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham Lincoln.
