Surveying in Lake County
Lake County lives up to its name with over 1,000 named lakes and ponds, creating one of the most complex waterfront boundary environments in Florida. Ordinary high water line determinations are required for lakefront properties throughout the county, and fluctuating lake levels can shift boundary positions.
The Lake Wales Ridge runs through the county's eastern portion, creating some of the highest elevations in peninsular Florida (over 300 feet in Clermont). This hilly terrain requires more complex topographic surveys than most Florida locations.
The Villages master-planned retirement community extends into Lake County from Sumter County, driving significant survey demand for residential construction in the southern portion of the county. This is one of the fastest-growing areas in the state.
