North Florida Land Surveying Services

North Florida survey pricing is set per project rather than by a published rate. What the job takes — boundary research, fieldwork, recovering or establishing the applicable property corners, marking the accessible corners, and preparing a signed and sealed survey — is what sets the figure, along with the number of parcels, scope, location, access, vegetation, travel, and existing monumentation. For a sense of what the underlying hours are worth, Florida city, county, special-district and FDOT contracts negotiated in 2024–2026 put a licensed surveyor at $136–$383 per hour and a two-person field crew at $130–$281 per hour. A recorded subdivision lot in Duval or Clay County resolves quickly; a rural tract in Bradford, Baker, or Union County whose corners have to be re-established does not. These are general ranges rather than quotes — parcel count, scope, access, vegetation, travel, and existing monumentation all affect the final price.

Yes. We serve all of North Florida including Duval, St. Johns, Nassau, Clay, Baker, Bradford, Alachua, Columbia, and surrounding counties. Jacksonville is a key market for commercial ALTA surveys, construction staking, and boundary surveys for the region's growing residential development.

They often take more work, and that is what moves the figure. Older deed descriptions, Spanish land grant boundaries, and overlapping historic conveyances mean the record research has to go back much further than it does on a platted lot, and corners in the historic district are frequently gone from the ground entirely. Standard suburban lots elsewhere in St. Johns County are far more straightforward. There is no fixed historic-district surcharge — the research hours the parcel actually needs are what set the price.

Survey requirements in rural North Florida are the same as the rest of the state. Boundary surveys are essential for any property transaction, fence installation, or development. Large agricultural tracts are not priced by the acre: a 40-acre parcel with four recoverable corners and clear access can take less field time than a heavily wooded 10-acre tract where every corner has to be re-established. Acreage, corner count, vegetation, and access are what determine the effort, so send the parcel details with your request and we will quote it.

Standard turnaround in North Florida is 3-7 business days for residential boundary surveys. The region generally has shorter wait times than South Florida due to lower demand. Rush service (24-48 hours) is available for an additional fee. ALTA surveys take 7-14 business days.
