What surveying services are available in Orlando, Florida?
Apex Surveying & Mapping provides 10 professional surveying services in Orlando — boundary surveys, ALTA/NSPS land title surveys, elevation certificates, topographic surveys and drone mapping — all performed by licensed Florida PSM surveyors. Orange County has 1,533,646 residents and $390,100 median home values. Surveys here are quoted per property rather than from a rate card: published Florida government contracts for 2024–2026 put a two-person survey crew at $130–$281 per hour and a licensed surveyor at $136–$383 per hour (source: negotiated rates in Florida city, county, special-district and FDOT contracts, 2024–2026). General ranges for Orlando, not quotes — older platted neighbourhoods often need corners re-established rather than simply recovered, which changes the figure, as do parcel count, scope, access, vegetation and travel.
Local Overview
Why Do Surveys Matter in Orlando?
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.
Property owners in Orlando rely on professional surveys for real estate transactions, construction projects, and boundary verification. Central Florida lake systems and riverine flooding.
Apex Surveying & Mapping serves Orlando with comprehensive surveying services, from boundary surveys for homeowners to ALTA/NSPS surveys for commercial transactions. Our licensed Professional Surveyor and Mapper (PSM) delivers accurate, defensible surveys that meet Florida Board requirements.
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.
