What surveying services are available in Port St. Lucie, Florida?

Apex Surveying & Mapping provides 10 professional surveying services in Port St. Lucie — boundary surveys, ALTA/NSPS land title surveys, elevation certificates, topographic surveys and drone mapping — all performed by licensed Florida PSM surveyors. St. Lucie County has 390,670 residents and $347,300 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 Port St. Lucie, 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.
