South Florida Land Surveying Services

Survey pricing in South Florida is set per project, not from a rate card. It is driven by boundary research, fieldwork, recovering or establishing the applicable property corners, marking the accessible corners, and preparing a signed and sealed survey — and it moves with the number of parcels, scope, location, access, vegetation, travel, and existing monumentation. 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). What your property needs of those hours is what sets the price — and dense development, flood-zone documentation, and High Velocity Hurricane Zone requirements in Miami-Dade all add hours to a South Florida job. These are general ranges rather than quotes — parcel count, scope, access, vegetation, travel, and existing monumentation all affect the final price.

Higher operating costs, dense urban development with complex easement structures, coastal flood zone requirements, and the HVHZ documentation mandate in Miami-Dade County all add work to a South Florida survey. Built-out blocks platted decades ago frequently have buried or destroyed corner monuments, so corners have to be re-established rather than recovered — usually the largest single driver of field hours on an urban lot. Demand matters too: South Florida is the state's busiest real estate market, which tightens scheduling. None of that produces a fixed premium, though — each project is priced on what it actually takes.

Most South Florida properties are in or near FEMA-designated flood zones. An elevation certificate is required for flood insurance if your property is in a Special Flood Hazard Area (zones A, AE, V, VE). Even outside high-risk zones, lenders may require one. Check your property's flood zone status with our free flood zone lookup tool or contact us for a quote.

We serve all of South Florida including Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin, St. Lucie, Lee, Collier, and Charlotte counties. This includes all cities, unincorporated areas, and the Florida Keys. Our licensed surveyors are based in Miami with rapid deployment to any South Florida location.

Most residential boundary surveys are completed within 3-5 business days. ALTA surveys take 7-14 business days. During peak season (January through May), wait times may extend by 1-2 weeks due to high demand. Rush service is available — ask about it when you request your quote.
