Surveying in Miami-Dade County
Miami-Dade's original surveys date to the 1890s township system, with many corners referencing now-obliterated Spanish land grant boundaries. Corner recovery often requires extensive historical research through multiple recording systems.
The county's High Velocity Hurricane Zone (HVHZ) designation imposes the strictest wind load requirements in Florida, frequently requiring surveyors to coordinate with structural engineers on elevation and setback documentation.
With over 870,000 parcels spanning from dense urban Brickell to agricultural Homestead, survey complexity varies dramatically — from 5,000 sq ft city lots to 640-acre farm sections.
