Entitlement & Permit Survey Services
Boundary Survey
Existing Conditions and Topographic Surveys
Based on the entitlement being sought, existing conditions surveys can also be required to include topographic information, where elevations are taken over the entire parcel of land being permitted to determine the configuration of the surface of the ground and the location of natural and man-made features. The topographic survey is vital for design professionals to utilize in their work.
Subdivision Plats and Replats
Chapter 177 of the Florida statutes gives the general rules for the platting of a subdivision, including the rule that any parcel of land divided into three tracts or more must be done by the recording of a subdivision plat. Replats are required when a portion of a recorded subdivision is going to be reconfigured.
