About Orlando - Why Surveys Matter Here
Understanding the local landscape to deliver surveys that meet your specific needs.
Orlando is a high-growth market in Central Florida. With a population of 348,347, the area continues to see significant development and real estate activity.

Key Surveying Considerations in Orlando:
- Sinkhole-prone karst geology: Orlando sits on karst limestone terrain with over 100 lakes within city limits, many formed by sinkholes. Lake Eola downtown is a sinkhole reaching 80 feet deep. Site surveys must consider geological stability.
- Lake-proximity setbacks: Many Orlando properties border lakes with riparian setback requirements that differ from standard zoning setbacks. Accurate survey of the lake edge and ordinary high water mark is critical.
- Utility easement complexity: Orlando's rapid growth has resulted in overlapping utility easements from multiple providers (OUC, Duke Energy, city water/sewer, telecom), requiring thorough easement research for ALTA surveys.
Lake Nona continues rapid expansion as a medical and technology hub. Downtown Orlando sees high-rise and mixed-use growth. Baldwin Park infill development ongoing.
