Key Surveying Considerations in Palm Bay:

  • Extensive canal system: Palm Bay has over 200 miles of canals. Properties bordering canals require determination of the canal maintenance easement and setback measurements that vary by canal classification.
  • Low-lying coastal elevation: Average elevation of only 5-15 ft above sea level places much of Palm Bay in FEMA flood zones, requiring elevation certificates for new construction and renovations in AE zones.
  • Large undeveloped lot inventory: Palm Bay has thousands of platted but undeveloped quarter-acre lots from 1960s-era subdivisions. Boundary surveys must verify original plat monuments, many of which have been disturbed or lost over decades.

Largest city by area in Brevard County. Significant inventory of undeveloped platted lots drives demand for boundary surveys and new construction staking.
