Surveying in Charlotte County
Charlotte County was severely impacted by Hurricane Charley in 2004 and Hurricane Ian in 2022, both making landfall near Punta Gorda. Post-hurricane reconstruction drives significant demand for elevation certificates, boundary re-establishment, and as-built surveys.
The Charlotte Harbor estuary is one of Florida's largest, with extensive mangrove shorelines and seagrass beds that trigger environmental survey requirements for any waterfront development. The Peace River enters the harbor from the north, adding riverine flood zone complexity.
Port Charlotte features a massive grid of platted lots from 1950s-era General Development Corporation subdivisions. Many of these lots were sold sight-unseen to out-of-state buyers, and surveyors regularly discover that plat dimensions do not match existing conditions due to drainage canals and road right-of-way modifications.
