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; what your Broward County project needs of those hours is what sets the figure.

Surveying in Broward County
Broward County's 31 municipalities each maintain their own permitting processes, meaning surveyors must navigate different requirements from Fort Lauderdale to Pembroke Pines. Municipal survey standards can vary significantly from unincorporated county requirements.
The Intracoastal Waterway bisects the county, creating complex waterfront boundary situations where mean high water lines, bulkhead lines, and riparian rights intersect with platted lot boundaries.
Rapid redevelopment of older neighborhoods — particularly in eastern Broward — means surveyors frequently encounter discrepancies between original 1920s-era plat dimensions and modern GPS measurements.
ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys Considerations in Hollywood
Beach area condo renovation activity tied to structural inspection cycles on older buildings. Downtown redevelopment with mixed-use projects.
Barrier island to mainland span
Hollywood stretches from the barrier island (Hollywood Beach) to western inland areas, creating dramatically different elevation and flood zone conditions across the same city.
Milestone structural inspections
Florida's milestone inspection law (F.S. 553.899) requires condominium and cooperative buildings three habitable stories or taller to have a structural inspection by a licensed architect or engineer at 30 years of age and every 10 years thereafter. The statute does not require a land survey.

Pricing
ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys Pricing in Hollywood
What the work costs in Florida, and why your figure has to be quoted.
Florida market rate for survey work
Source: negotiated rates in Florida city, county, special-district and FDOT contracts, 2024–2026. These are market rates for professional time — not a quote for your project, and not Apex's rate card.
Why we quote instead of listing a price
What a survey costs is set by the work it takes — boundary research, fieldwork, recovering or establishing the applicable property corners, marking the accessible corners, and preparing a signed and sealed survey. Your figure will vary with the number of parcels, scope, location, access, vegetation, travel, and existing monumentation.
Two properties on the same Hollywood street can price differently — one with intact corner markers, one where every corner has to be re-established.
